MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said Monday he will rule on a request to reinstate Pete Rose from the league’s ineligible list, a topic that recently came up in a conversation between Manfred and President Donald Trump. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/632...
They were always going to do it once he died.
Decisions filtered through a Trump prism greatly enhance his moron IQ.
In my view as a former prosecutor, "the evidence demonstrated conclusively that Rose bet on professional baseball games, including games played by the Reds... Does Rose nevertheless belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame?" Yes, as I argued 16 years ago. ehlersoneverything.blogspot.com/2009/09/base...
JFC tell Rump to go to hell
I don't think Pete gives a shit.
One degenerate propping up another one.
Can Trump just keep fucking up the economy and stay out of baseball
And there you go. Manfred is so afraid. What a fucking wimp.
“I’m super offended by your strict policy against people who break the rules.” - Donald Trump.
Make Cheating and Fraud and Lying Great Again!
There’s nothing to rule on. Pete Rose received a lifetime ban for betting on baseball. Period.
Manfred needs to take a stand against reinstating Pete Rose! Trump can't pardon him! Manfred needs to stand up for honesty in baseball and keep Rose on the ineligible list!
if he cheated of course tRUMP will take it away
It's all irrelevant now. He's dead, so who cares either way. I swear the shit we waste our time on. Also Manfred is a little bitch.
Pete's dead. His lifetime ban is over. But Pete shouldn't be reinstated until Shoeless Joe is.
He wasn’t given a lifetime ban. He was placed on the permanently ineligible list.
Given that it's possible to be reinstated, it's not permanent. It's just "Inelgible." Regardless of semantics. I have no problem with Pete being in now that he's dead and can't benefit from being enshrined. But I also don't want him in until Joe Jackson is also put in.
Regardless of semantics, buddy you started the semantic argument.
Nothing has changed in his case. He broke the rules and he was a terrible person. It doesn’t matter if he is dead. He still doesn’t belong.
To clarify, I don't want/need Rose to be in. Just, if they do put him in, Joe Jackson deserves enshrinement as well. Quite happy with Pete the Pud being out. And dead. And so glad he couldn't be in Airplane and they got Kareem instead. Would have made one of the best movies ever unwatchable.
What about Shoeless Joe Jackson? He set World Series record and still got banned.
There is no area of American life that this POS won't insert himself into. Fucking exhausting.
Manfred needs to stop with this. Rose was banned for a reason and there isn’t anything that has changed.
You could argue he was that since he was given a lifetime ban. He has fully served the sentence of his ban and should no longer be banned.
It would be a lot easier if you lied and said it was a lifetime ban, yeah.
No you can’t. He wasn’t given a lifetime ban. He was placed on the permanently ineligible list.
lol.
It was a permanent ban, not a lifetime ban.
Trump's corruption has no depth. He has no say in Rose's ban. It was justified.
Better un-ban Shoeless Joe Jackson while he's at it!
Donald Trump likes rule-breakers. Honoring them makes him feel better about his law-breaking self.
Pete Rose is a rapist and a pedophile
Trump will convince Manfred to reinstate him. After you pardon the J6 terrorists, allow wealthy rapists back into the country, etc. this seems like child's play.
pete rose said he thought a 16 year ban would be okay with him for more info, google "peter rose 16 year old"
Nope. If you keep catering to trump stupidity it will end up with him being indicted into the HoF.
I’m all in favor of reinstating Rose, should have been done while he was alive. Sad for Manfred and baseball that it took trump to get him to even consider it.
He had the opportunity for that. He blew it. Oh well.
Nope. He broke the rules and he should forever suffer the consequences. He was a terrible person and nothing has changed to let him in.
Awesome take advice from a rapist
And a nazi
FREE BUCK WEAVER!!!
Trump: why should we discriminate against cheaters?
I'm seeing a trend with the type of guys that Trump likes to white knight for.
Cheater felon trump, of course wants cheater rose reinstated
