donald trump The next day, he sent a clear message to the Baseball Hall of Fame. pete rose Died… urged the organization. To have the former Reds star appear in “Before the Funeral” and “Now”!
The former prez made a request in the next period. JD Vancediscussion with tim waltz Monday night…I took a little break from watching Running Mate to pay some serious tribute to this baseball legend.
“The great Pete Rose just passed away,” he said. “He was one of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game. He paid the price! Major League Baseball should have admitted him to the Hall of Fame years ago.”
Of course, Rose was well on his way to winning the Cooperstown Shield…but in 1989, Rose was banned from the sport after MLB determined he had bet on games while managing the Reds.
Pete denied the allegations for years, but finally admitted them in the mid-2000s.
Trump clearly believes that now that he is dead, it is time for all penalties to be lifted.
But for now, the HOF seems unperturbed.
Rose, who died Monday of heart disease, played 24 years in MLB and was named to the All-Star team 17 times. His 4,256 career hits remain the most in sports history.
