Peter Edward Rose Research Paper
Peter Edward Rose, Sr. was born on April 14, 1941 in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio. As a young boy he played baseball and football at western hills high school. During Rose’s sophomore year he was starting to struggle with school. He either had a choice to go to summer school or else he would fail his father Harry Rose decided that it would be best for him to repeat the grade instead of missing a summer playing baseball. During his high school years rose thought that he was not good enough to graduate out of high school. His grades were not always the best but somehow he managed to pull it together and make it to his senior year. Pete’s senior year he had played his four years of sports so he joined a league called the AA class baseball team. …show more content…

Another one was from horse races that he won money from. On July 19th Rose was sentenced to five years of security prison camp at the US penitentiary in Illinois and was fine the amount of 50,000 dollars. On January 7, 1991 after paying almost half of the amount which was $366,041 in back taxes and interest and was finally released from the prison. He also had to do a mandatory 1000 hours of community service. In 1991 rose had a chance at being in the MLB’s hall of fame but for the bad actions that he made in the years past years the committee did not want anyone that was on the ineligible list to be able to be one of the inductees in the hall of fame. Rose is the only member to this day being on the major league baseball’s ineligible list. After all of this Rose has made some appearances on many different things such as being a Fox sports commentator also appearing on shows such as WWE’s Raw as a wrestling commentator. Ever since his mistake of gambling he has cost himself a lot of damage because he could have been in the hall of fame and maybe could still to this day be involved in the MLB such as being the Reds manager or maybe even being another teams manager but the price of this is that he will never have anything to do with the MLB because of something stupid that he did in the

    Bart Giamatti's decision to ban Pete Rose from the Baseball Hall of Fame was not a fair decision at all. Pete Rose was placed on Baseball's ineligible list in 1989 when commissioner of baseball, Bart Giamatti concluded that Rose had bet on baseball games, including games involving his own team, the Cincinnati Reds. In an agreement made with Baseball, Rose accepted his banishment from the sport. Although he never admitted to having gambled on baseball games (Maury). Pete Rose was a phenomenal baseball player and manager. He was accused of gambling. His team while he was managing was supposedly involved. Bart Giamatti's severe punishment of Pete Rose is a very controversial topic in the world of sports. There are a few rules that must have been followed to be inducted to the Hall of Fame. The one that is keeping Rose away is rule five. Rule five states: Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team or teams on which the player played (Maury). This rule has been tested and beaten many times. Many players have entered the Baseball Hall of Fame such as the very unlikable Ty Cobb, the drinking Babe Ruth, the umpire abusing John McGraw, the racist Cap Anson, Gaylord Perry a suspected cheater, and the gambling Leo Durocher. Those are just a few of the baseball players who somehow made into the Hall of Fame and got passed rule five (Ritter). Pete Rose's problem was not even as severe as all of these other men. The argument to this is that if these men can make it into the Hall of Fame why is Pete Rose banned. It is obvious that these players made it there with just their playing abilities and not by all of the other characteristics needed to be inducted into the Hall of Fame (Maury). Pete Rose started playing professional baseball in 1960 in the minor leagues and by 1963 he reached the Major Leagues as a rookie second baseman with the National League's Cincinnati Reds. Rose won…

    I was in high school when Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb's all time hits record. I grew up in Ohio when I was young and was always a Cincinnati Reds fan, and Rose was one of the players I admired. It seemed as though he hustled more than most of the other players and was always trying to do whatever it took in order to win. He was my first recollection of how free agency could ruin your favorite team when he departed for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1979, and led them to the World Series in 1980. In 1989, The Dowd Report (which harshly criticized Rose for gambling) was a shock. That a player who was so intent on winning and would do whatever it took to help his team to win, would break the major sin of baseball in gambling on baseball was an idea I could not have ever thought possible.…

    Alex Grey was born on November 29, 1953 in Columbus, Ohio to a middle class family eventually becoming one the world's greatest visionary artists of today. As a young kid he use to collect insects and dead animals and bury them in his backyard until he was bitten by a rabid bat. He had to endure a painful series of rabies antitoxin injections with a serum that was made of dead dried duck embryos which left a big lump under his skin. At age 10 he would watch his grandmother turn jaundice yellow and asked his dad when she would be getting better. He told him she wouldn't get better, and that she was dying. These things taught him something about death and how things don't last forever. This early brush with the non-living as well as with medicine warped his art subject matter and got him thinking what happens to us when we die and if we have a spirit where does it go.…

    Pete was placed on the ineligible list of baseball players in 1989 for allegedly betting on baseball, the worst baseball "sin" you can commit. He was reported to the FBI by one of his bookies, Ron Peters. "Peters testified that Rose also bet on his own Reds (only to win, allegedly), even placing calls from the stadium" (Goldman 23). Rose claims that he never bet on baseball only other sports, but various bookies say otherwise, claiming that Rose started betting on baseball after losing largely on other sports. Checks received by bookies had been linked to Rose through finger prints and handwriting further incriminating him. With no direct…

    As I said in the last paragraph, he was one of the few player-manager to ever be in the MLB. Also, the MLB made an award to give out every year called Charlie Hustle Award, this award is given to a player who shows the true spirit and traditions of baseball(Kay 1). This award came about and named after Pete Rose, he was a player who stood out for his hustle and drive for the game(1). There are MLB players right now who try to mimic Pete Rose style of play, for example Bryce Harper and Mike Trout are some of the best players in the game and both have said they try to play like Pete. “Because I was small, I always had to do things other people didn’t do to try to win games. That’s the way I played.”, this was a very famous quote from Pete Rose about his style of playing baseball(Kay 1). Not everyone liked his style of hustle, some players thought he was a show off, but everyone respected him and knew how impactful he was to the game. Now there is the side of why he should not be in the Hall of Fame…
