In reply to the discussion: Major League Baseball ends lifetime bans for Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson [View all]BumRushDaShow
(157,143 posts)18. Regarding this
There's no question what Pete Rose could do on the field, but off the field he was a walking disaster.
They're more likely to put Curt Schilling in the Hall of Fame, and Schilling isn't going in either.
On the other hand, I feel good about Shoeless Joe Jackson's chances. He may be the only one of the recently-reinstated crew to get in.

All 3 played on some Philadelphia team (Jackson played on the As here before the team eventually moved to Oakland - my mom was an old As fan and never liked the Phillies)!

Mantle? Are you sure you're not quoting Dennis Rodman (Trump ambassador to NK)

Well... at this point in time, I agree with all that. They both have paid a high price.
