Pete Rose may be reinstated as early as 2004... - The Brain - 08-12-2003

... according to an article from <a href=http://premium.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2194 target=_blank>Baseball Prospectus</a>. Pete Rose may finally strike the deal in which he admits to gambling on baseball, apologizes more profusely than 420 after making fun of a chick, and becomes eligible to be voted into the Hall of Fame by 2006 (which is within 20 years of his retirement-- otherwise, the Veterans Committee will have to vote him in). In addition, he will probably accept a management position within the Cincinatti Reds' organization.

Naturally, Selig and MLB <a href=http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/6516494.htm target=_blank>immediatley began denying this report</a>, but it's most likely because actual negotiations haven't concluded.

<b>EDIT:</b>

The Baseball Prospectus article hints that the agreement may actually get Rose back into baseball <i>without any admission of guilt</i>, but I think we can all agree that any negotiation which will allow Rose to come back to baseball would have to include an admission of wrongdoing on his part. Also, he would not be able to accept a managerial position until 2005, and only if Selig approves it, which is doubtful. He would be able to accept other non-managerial job positions in baseball upon reinstatement.

If he apologizes and admits it he should be put back in the game. There are people in the past that have done much worse than him.

Petey: "I'm sorry if I singlehandedly caused the public to question the legitimacy of the sport. Even though there is evidence that I bet on Reds games, possibly even against them (A-LLEGEDLY) while I was a manager, it was only because I love the team. It has nothing to do with my mounting debts, or the unsavory characters that I associate with. Just let me back in. Honor me, tell me how great I am, and I promise that I wont fix any games or do anything to ruin the game (that you'll find out about) this time Angel

It's like allowing OJ to marry again, you already know how its going to end up, and its affect on the world.

I didn't realize we had to power to stop any possible future O.J. marriages.

How does it work, do we have to sign a petition or something? Wink

Can we just stop OJ period?? I'll start the petition myself. Here's a rough draft:

We, the undersigned to hereby request that Orenthal James Simpson (AKA O. J. Juice, The Juice, Murdering Schwoogie, et.al) cease all functions related to, dealing with, and pertaining to life. Furthermore we demand you confess your crimes and cease and desist with your continuing charade, of which humiliation has been brought upon yourself, your family and the negroid race, in general. Hencforth and herewithto, our final request is that you GET IN THE FUCKIN' COFFIN!!!!!

Respectfully yours,

James B. Eyes Queens, N.Y.


How's that??
