Specific Topic: Pete Rose Scandal Specific Purpose: Give reasons why Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame Central Idea: Pete Rose caught the bad end of the deal in being suspended from baseball for life To some, including myself, baseball is the greatest sport that has ever been played. ... Pete Rose did the most awful thing a ballplayer could do by not only wagering on games in the NBA, the NFL, and college sports, but also baseball games. Peter Edwards Rose was investigated by Major League Baseball and a hearing was scheduled for May of 1989. The scheduled hearing never took place and yet Pete Rose was suspended from baseball and placed on the ineligibility list. The question I raise is should Peter Edwards Rose be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for his outstanding play on the baseball field, or should he be denied it because of a gambling addiction. In my opinion Pete Rose should be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and also be re-instated into Major League Baseball. Now, most of the baseball critics and brass do not want Pete Rose inducted. ... Almost all of the "highly questionable" evidence that Commissioner Bart Giamatti held was derived from former friends and associates of Rose. ... This evidence is what prompted the banishment of Pete Rose from baseball, which he signed. ... In 1989, because of his gambling involvement, baseballs Commissioner Bart Giammati suspended Pete Rose from association with professional baseball for life. Rose also spent five months in a minimum-security prison for tax evasion in 1990. ... Still to this day, it has not been proven that Rose did bet on the baseball team that he was managing. Rose himself still holds true to his statement that he never bet on the game of baseball. ... They let known, proven criminals continue to play the game, but not Rose. There is no absolute proof that Pete Rose did bet on baseball. ... Rose has more career hits than anyone who has ever played the game, 4,256 to be exact. Rose also played in 3,562 games (a major league record) was the 1963 Rookie of the Year and in 1973 was the National Leagues Most Valuable Player. He holds the all-time league record for most at bats (14,053) the record for the most singles (3,315) and the record for most doubles (746) He also holds the all-time league record for most total career runs at 2,165 As you can see, Pete Rose more than fulfills the standards to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose has also done something that no other player has had the ability or time to do. ... Pete Rose is in a class all by himself. |
