Pete Rose In The Hall Of Fame Persuasive Essay

1531 Words7 Pages

Seventeen time All-Star, 4,256 hits, 3,562 games played, and two time Gold Glove winner “Charlie Hustle” or also known as Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame regardless of betting on his team to win (“Pete”). In no way, shape, or form did Pete Rose throw away games for the money. Think of Shoeless Joe Jackson during the 1919 World Series. Joe conspired with gamblers to throw the 1919 World Series. He was later banned from baseball. This has been another controversy for almost a century. Joe Jackson is the complete opposite from Pete Rose in a gambling standpoint. Pete Rose bet on his team to win, Joe Jackson threw a World Series for $5,000. Either way players, managers, or anyone associated with the club should not be gambling on games, but, the consequences …show more content…

We know this is never going to happen except for in a perfect world. Pete Rose is one of the greatest players to ever step foot on a baseball field. He never had the intention of harming his career by gambling and is very regretful of doing so. The whole subject of Pete Rose getting into the Hall of Fame is very opinionated but needs to be looked at from multiple perspectives not just that he broke rule 21D and here is his consequence. Everyone deserves a right to a fair trial and Pete Rose has not received one. Pete will never be forgotten for what he did on the field and how he played the game. Charlie Hustle without a doubt should be allowed back in baseball activities and in the Hall of Fame. The man deserves to be honored in the greatest way possible and remembered for generations to come. Baseball is arguably the hardest sport to play because of the intense mental focus, skill, and Rose excelled exceptionally throughout his career. He is one of the greatest players to ever step foot on the baseball diamond, and should be reimbursed for what greatness he did on the field regardless of what happened outside of the foul

    It also includes works by those who come up with reasons why an athlete is in the right and should be spared of most punishment. One example is “Pete Rose and Baseball’s Rule 21” by Jeffrey Standen. In it, Standen argues that legendary baseball player Pete Rose should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame despite the fact that he bet on games as the Cincinnati Reds’ manager. He claimed that “the deal Pete Rose made with Major League Baseball can be plausibly analogized to the so-called plea bargain that is the routine disposition of cases in the American criminal justice system,” (95) and comes to the conclusion that “Major League Baseball has not lived up to its end of the bargain” (96). By comparing the scandal to a plea bargain, Standen places Rose’s illegal actions into a new context where he knew he was wrong and just wanted a less severe punishment because of his admitted guilt.

  • Personal Narrative: A Look At The Hall Of Fame

    Debates about a player’s induction into Cooperstown involve those things and given that they take place after a player’s career, there’s a large sample size; there’s a chance to be objective; there’s a pretty solid standard to compare against. Those things should combine to make solid, reasonable, rational arguments. Of course, that doesn’t happen. The arguments around the Hall of Fame get clouded by steroid suspicion, narrative-driven nostalgia, and all sorts of other hindrances that make rational debate damn near impossible. Invariably, there are articles written with flimsy defenses of indefensible ballots that I try to ignore, but sometimes, I can’t help it.
