What is the controversy surrounding Pete Rose and the Hall of Fame?
Can you guys please play the video of the late Pete Rose when he was on with us recently talking about, I really, I couldn't help but sort of laugh darkly at the idea that baseball would put him in the Hall of Fame or consider it after his death for the first time when he was only living to feel whatever it is that it felt like to be the fountain of youth of a Hall of Fame. But let's listen to Pete Rose saying he didn't want the award after he was dead.
In the future, several decades from now, let's say Major League Baseball then makes the decision after Pete Rose is long gone to enshrine him in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. How would you feel about that?
Well, to be honest with you, I wouldn't want to go in the Hall of Fame because I think the Hall of Fame, OK, and don't get me wrong, the Hall of Fame is for two things. It's one for the player and it's two, three, excuse me, three things. His family. Okay, his fans and his teammates and everybody who was associated with him. That's more than three. They don't help me when I'm six feet under. How in the hell is that going to help anybody? I mean, I still go out. Today, I go out and try to sell the game of baseball, and I'm not even in the game of baseball. But you guys will agree, my name is synonymous with the game of baseball. I have all the records. You know, and that's all baseball is, is statistics. It's all about statistics. All you guys on TV talk about it.
How many home runs you got? How many RBIs you got? How many runs you got? How many gold gloves you win? How many MVPs you win? How many World Series are you playing? Those are all questions that I can answer with no hesitation at all.
Makes me angry, man. I was already annoyed because I think it's cruel to allow him. Remember, he's not in the Hall of Fame now and he probably won't still get voted in. But he's allowed to be voted in now. And I think it's cruel that not only are we going to ban you for life, but guess what? We're going to allow you in when you're dead. And now hearing him say, pretty much the way that I was looking at it anyway, I think it's cruel. And I think it's really weak that Rob Manfred, this great thing that he just did yesterday, no it wasn't, no it wasn't. The hard thing to do would have been reinstating him while he's still alive.
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show, was that a garage sale cap Pete Rose was wearing? It's exactly the kind of cap I would associate with an 85-year-old who has stopped caring. Might be Gucci.
It's a Gucci cap. Now, he did a lot of signings in Vegas. Maybe he pulled one off one of the sidewalk tables. But that is supposed to appear like a Gucci hat.
I thought it was, what do they call fake Gucci's? Fuji? I thought that was fake and bought at a garage sale. Do I have it wrong? Because it didn't look like it was kept well.
I think he maybe hit a parlay, man.
It is Pete Rose. We're alleging a hit king's just going to get a fake Gucci? Come on, man.
Rose's own family pushed for this, and I have seen when you start talking baseball, all of a sudden, look who pops up. And I imagine, see, Azaria's got a hotline here that he shows up whenever it is that he wants to, and everyone gets out of the way. If you haven't seen Pablo Torre Finds Out, he did an extraordinary episode with Hank Azaria where Hank went deeper on some of the things that he has been through and learned. And on top of that, he's now singing as Bruce Springsteen late in life. This is his quest. Hank, good to see you. Thank you for being on with us.
