I'm sure this will unearth a lot of discussion regarding his HOF credentials. 

One of the truly great players the game has ever seen.

RIP.

RIP

Imo, he should be in.  Nothing he did after he quit playing changes the fact that he had one of the most remarkable playing careers in baseball history.

RIP to Pete Rose and Dikembe Mutombo.

And Kris Kristofferson.

MLB will put him in the Hall now just because they're sick like that

Rose is never getting into the HOF and his death will not change that. Book it.

He was a great player but his arrogance and his ego were bigger than anything else. He would have been in the HOF in an instant had he said he did wrong and apologized. But that was beyond him.
Yes he will get in on his death but he got what he deserved in life.
May he RIP

Gambling always seemed like a strange addiction to me. I have no doubt it is an addiction, but personally, I have never felt the pull to gamble.  I mean, I have gone to a casino.  I have been in various football betting pools.  I have been to the track.

Yet, if I never gamble again in my life, I would not miss it in the least.

I feel bad for Rose that his addiction ruined his life and his legacy.

RIP Charlie Hustle. I loved watching him play. All out, all the time.
IMO, he should be in the HOF.

He should have been in the Hall during his lifetime. It's my understanding that he bet ON HIS TEAM TO WIN. His job as Manager is to do all he can to win, so where was the harm. Considering the proliferation of sports betting today he should have been put in the Hall once sports betting became prevalent.

Sure but I only wage alcoholic beverages.
