I was 13 yrs old, watchg the All-Star game when Pete Rose ran over Ray Fosse.. which basically ruined Fosse's career..
(which is why catchers shouldn't block the plate w/o the ball)

nothing against Pete, he gave 100% every game of his career (unlike most all of today's players)..

he SHOULD BE in the HoF.. no question in my mind.

RIP you summamabitch - You were one of the best ever!

On the course!
Can or will they put him in HofF posthumously?

They could. The biggest thing IMO that is against him, is he vehemently denied doing anything wrong for so many years.

He took the biggest shit a player could take on the game, and "the game" returned the favor.

I am sure that's exactly what will be happening.
Anything for profit and publicity and these billion dollar leagues are famous for it.
RIP

Somewhere in Corn Country
Rose is all over the hall of fame museum. Plenty of memorabilia from his playing career to be seen when you visit.
He just doesn’t have a plaque in the hall with the other greatest players of all time.
