He was never going to get in alive. Maybe now they do it as a sort of insult to him.

I wasn't a Reds fan. Wasn't a Rose fan. I liked the As and Yankees and Dodgers over Cinnci. But I did watch this and would recommend. Pete was a piece of work and a questionable character to put it mildly

I know guys that played with him and for him, and two things were constant in our conversations…he was a great player, and a gigantic asshole…

One of the biggest stories of my childhood sphere back before the internets was when they opened a fake Field of Dreams in Skagit County and Pete came up as like the celebrity cameo and wanted like $50 of some shit for an autograph or he wouldn't meet anyone.

Sad as hell, yes. But Baseball has no choice. Gambling funny bidness almost killed Baseball. Charlie knew the rules.

MLB sponsored by Fan Duel can't be tainted by gambling

Degenerate gamblers have a sacred right to a clean game !

He also had an agreement with Giamatti and then lied about it

Where's the Mutombo post?
-
No no no.

Yeah I don't think I can really beat that. I had a few 70s cards with the reds at one point but not sure what's in there now.
Bobby Bonilla was one of my least favorite players. I did have a rookie card or two of him. Also have a Ryne Sandberg rookie...1982 or 83 Topps, iirc.

The Big Red Machine ended up with two rings and lost to some of the great teams of their era. 7 games classic against the Red Sox in 75 and swept the Yanks in 76
Baltimore Orioles with 4 20 game winners
We Are Family Pirates who actually won three rings from 1961 to 1979
A's won three rings
Yankees 2 in 77 and 78 beating the Dodgers who beat the Reds in the NLCS
Baseball was loaded. Free agency became a thing in 75 or so but didn't break up teams other than the As for awhile

Make reserve clauses great again.

Oakland had a great 70s for sports.
