Pete Rose
Charlie's hustlers

Innocent

Sunday July 16, 2006

Pete Rose aka. Charlie Hustle is one of the most beloved baseball players of our time. 4,256 career hits is his most significant record and one that will likely never be eclipsed. Despite this, he is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Why?

Because of alleged gambling that he did as a manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

Let me tell you this, Pete Rose never gambled in his entire life.

The gambling rumor started because of a quote by Pete in the Cincinnati Herald, June 28th, 1975:

I’ve got a 15-year old son and a 10-year old daughter, and if they were going to do one of the following things: be an alcoholic; be a drug offender; beat their wife or husband; or gamble. I hope they would gamble.

I’m with you, Pete. Take a minute to sign the petition to put Pete Rose in the hall of fame, where he rightfully belongs.
