Pete Rose the hardest playing baseball player I have ever seen past away today at age 83. He never took a play off and played to win all the time. With his history of gambling I was going to put this under the legalizing gambling thread about college football but thought this needed it's own thread. I still think he should be in the hall of fame especially with the proliferation of all the gambling we are bombarded with whenever we watch a sporting event.

He was one of the best players during his time, and he does deserve his place in the Hall of Fame, regardless of the gambling, especially since it seems gambling online is all the rage now, and the insane money involved. To me all sports have been severely tainted by it. I can't watch a NFL game anymore without thinking it is fixed with all of the strange calls, either by the officials or even the coaches. I am sticking with college football, but concentrating my attention on both my Alma Maters and NU. There is no money in FCS football, especially in a league with non scholarship players.
