Pete Rose, Charlie Hustle, formerly of the Cincinnati Reds organization has passed away. He was 83. He is still a he all-time hits leader for MLB.

And was completely screwed by MLB who needs to finally back the fuck off and relent. ESPECIALLY now that every fucking sponsored commercial "the proud sponsor of Major League Baseball" is either booze or an online gambling site. Fucking hypocritical pieces of shit.

As much as I can admire him as a player, as a manager he screwed himself against a commissioner that wanted to flex his power. Rose made the deal to avoid worse consequences, banned for life, but now that life is over. Giamatti was a weak commissioner and used the stupidity of Rose to try to show how tough he was. It may still take a few years for him to get in the HoF, but it’s gonna take some old timer reporters passing to get there.
