      Pete, Pete, Pete...I can think of very few Hall of Famers who were less indebted to their teammates to make the Hall than Johnny Benchhttps://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2019/06/07/pete-rose-johnny-bench-wouldnt-cooperstown-without-me/1381360001/ …

      What's frustrating about Pete Rose being such a terrible human being: he wasn't just a good ballplayer; he was *admirable* as a ballplayer, a paragon of hustle, durability, consistency, endurance. He played more games than anyone, & played each one like he had money riding on it.

      Pete Rose was *fun* to watch, as a player, as a manager, even as a cranky old guy in the studio sparring with A-Rod. Fun is good for the game. And yet, Pete's rap sheet by now as a man is appalling.

          Unfortunate. An All-Star at 1B, 2B, 3B, LF & RF.

          As a 45 y/o lifelong Reds fan, the signs of Rose's clay feet were always there. It's not a surprise that a person so bad at dealing with other people is his own worst press agent.

          Agree on all of this. I’m happy he’s not in the HOF - and I know this is a minority position.

          Bench never played himself over a better player so he could make a run at the hit record.

          Mike Francesa interviewed him the other day. It was fascinating and Rose came off as a likeable dude. Rose definitely hurt himself by lying about gambling. Regardless, he belongs in the HOF. His stats are insane.
