Anthony, 28 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:26.680 how are you. 29 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.439 The fact that you still a question if I'm calling 30 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.959 in on times? Just almost a little disrespectful. 31 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:39.799 Anthony, wire you with us? Can we hear you own home? Anthony? 32 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.519 That's all I can tell you. 33 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.799 You not hear him at all. I have not heard 34 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.159 a word that he has said. So anyway, I'll just 35 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.319 keep talking. Anthony. Just tell Anthony to continue talking until 36 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.599 we get it fixed. But I do not hear Anthony. 37 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.239 So it is seven o eight and this is what 38 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.239 we have in store for you today. Once we can 39 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.799 get Anthony live, which we will, We're gonna talk a 40 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.840 little bit about, of course, Pete Rose and major League Baseball. 41 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.039 It has its issues. We know that major League Baseball 42 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:14.719 has had its. 43 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.800 Issues, just like a lot of sports. Anthony, are you 44 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.080 with me? Sounds like I heard a click, but. 45 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.800 Yep, I'm here, I was here before it. I don't 46 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:24.639 know what was going on. 47 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:26.759 I hear him now, thanks Shnny, Yeah, I hear him. 48 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:31.360 Now you're doing, Anthony, I'm doing well about yourself. Good 49 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.479 now that I can hear, I'm doing doing good. 50 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.639 So what we've got up today and everyone knows yesterday 51 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.159 huge news is that Pete Rose and numerous others nineteen 52 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.240 nineteen White Sox Chicago White Sox, which you're not far 53 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.520 from their stadium, Anthony, just one hundred years later. 54 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:52.039 That's all. 55 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.240 But I had gambled on the World Series and shoeless 56 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.360 Joe Jackson has an opportunity, just like Pete Rose, to 57 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.759 be admitted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Okay, And 58 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.520 we've talked about this subject, Anthony, you and I have not, 59 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.520 but we've talked about this subject on this show, I 60 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.800 mean numerous times. Is a hot topic. It's one of 61 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.639 the things that makes baseball. It lights it up, Anthony, 62 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:18.800 it really does. So I was talking with William, our producer, 63 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.639 and he asked me what I thought, and we've got 64 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.479 a tape that we're going to play. But again I 65 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.719 said that I believed that Pete Rose should be in 66 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.639 So William, I want you to give me, give the 67 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.639 audience your reply to me. Don't be scared, tell them 68 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.199 what you said, and then I'm going to start to talk. 69 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.719 It was a great conversation. I'm going to reply back. 70 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.800 I'm going to answer your questions, and then we're going 71 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.319 to listen to a little audio tape from some of 72 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.520 the ESPN talking heads. So, William, your opinion, you're a 73 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.159 Cincinnati read you live in Cincinnati, of that is a 74 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:51.439 correct statement, Coreg Williams. 75 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.000 Yeah, I'm from northern Kentucky. I've grown up a Reds fan. 76 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.960 Okay, your opinion? Should Pete Rose be in? 77 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.039 Pete Rose is the great hitter of all time. He 78 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.719 has Hall of Fame talent and accolades or hall of fame, 79 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.599 But the number one rule in baseball is don't ruin 80 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.400 the integrity of the game. It was set with Shoeless 81 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.400 Joe back in the day in nineteen nineteen, as you mentioned, 82 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.960 and I feel like, I mean, there's a lot of 83 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.879 other stuff you can criticize him for for not being 84 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.399 in the Hall of Fame, and that's almost a different conversation, 85 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.519 but he ruined the integrity of the game. I don't 86 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.839 get how you can allow a person in to the 87 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:25.680 Hall of Fame with that. 88 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.879 Okay, great points. Now, yes, there's two sides to Pete Rose. 89 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:31.560 There's three. 90 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.040 There's the baseball aspect, the hardest playing guy, the most 91 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.360 hits in Major League Baseball history, running through catchers during 92 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.279 All Star Games. There's no question that when you're talking 93 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.240 about the integrity of the game, and we have a 94 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.680 lot of issues with players today that. 95 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.560 We do not as older players. 96 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.959 I'm an older NBA player that we say a lot 97 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.040 of players do not respect the game because they don't 98 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.439 play every game, will you. They don't play every play, 99 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.120 They take plays off, they take games off, they load manage. 100 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.759 That was Pete Rose. He played every game. He played 101 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.560 every game like it was his last. He was a 102 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.240 very good baseball player, very good. That's first sight. The 103 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.759 second side is the gambling aspect. I told you and 104 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.519 a lot of people have said that. You know, he's 105 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.759 a perpetual liar. It took him a long time. I 106 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.720 think when he finally admitted it was January eighth of 107 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.519 two thousand and four when he admitted he'd bet on baseball. 108 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.720 Okay, and that was on ESPN this morning. 109 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.040 So yes, from nineteen eighty nine, fifteen or so years before, 110 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.560 he admitted that he had bet on baseball, and I 111 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.959 did agree with Major League Baseball that he did with 112 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.000 the proof that they had shown that he had been 113 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.279 on baseball. The only thing that I said is that 114 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.519 I did not see where he was fixing games. He 115 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.439 was betting on his team to win. From what was 116 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.639 given to me and what the little I know about 117 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.920 Major League Baseball, that's where I got that. So that's 118 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.399 the second aspect. If he was ever betting to lose 119 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.800 games throw games, I would have thought differently, I really 120 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.000 would have. That's the second piece. The third piece is 121 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.040 of all the off the field tax evasion. Again, we're 122 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.439 gonna stay with it. He went to jail for tax evasion. 123 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:21.079 I'm gonna stay away from the nineteen seventy issue with 124 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.680 the young Lady Again. A lot of things were thrown 125 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.079 out about his personality that weren't good. So you've got 126 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.800 three facets of Pete Rose Anthony. I'm gonna throw it 127 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.199 to you before we listen to the audio tape. Those 128 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.360 these those three facets are true hardest playing baseball player 129 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.639 than I probably have ever seen. If you say respecting 130 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.920 the game. By the way that he played, you'd have 131 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.040 to put him in the top five, top four. The 132 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.439 other two issues are true. The gambling is one true. 133 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.720 Coach Beard, I spoke to him last night and he says, 134 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.639 now the times have changed and that people can gamble 135 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.399 on professional sports. I said, Coach, that's true, but still 136 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.560 not the players and college players are not supposed to 137 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.600 be able to also, so that part has not changed. 138 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.759 Will you mean you're correct on that aspect? What do 139 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.040 you think, Anthony on Pete Rose's stature? Should he be 140 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.639 admitted in two Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame? There 141 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.240 are three pigs. He's got a stool with three pegs. 142 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.319 One is phenomenal, with the other two are questionable. What 143 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.079 do you think you know? 144 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.959 There's been so much controversy in baseball with mean obviously 145 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.600 his gambling issue and a couple of the fastest he 146 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.399 had going on. But until at the same time, there's 147 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.480 players as even been in modern baseball, and even the 148 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.120 last fifteen to twenty years has have the same dilemmas 149 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.639 and similar issues. I've still gotten admitted into the Hall 150 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.199 of Fame. He got guys from using steroids, performing enhancing drugs. 151 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.879 So if you're going to ban somebody for those two things. Betting, yes, 152 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.720 I know it's permitted, But at the same time, if 153 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.720 you're betting against baseball, that wasn't really tarm funishing the 154 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.720 game at all. I don't see I don't see like 155 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.319 I say, I don't sit here and see an issue. 156 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.079 But I don't see why I should stop them from 157 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.759 getting into the Hall of Fame. That has nothing to 158 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.240 do with his performance that he did on the field. 159 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.560 I think that the Hall of Fame that they do, 160 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:15.279 they base the Hall of Fame more off of how 161 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:19.199 your entire lifestyle is rather than just what you're doing sports. 162 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.480 We've seen it in other sports too. They do it 163 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.600 in the football and basketball all the time. Would be 164 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.240 NFL players should be the players that. 165 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:29.399 Have met dude, Now, great point, should they? I'm gonna 166 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.639 ask Anthony, should they? Let's just sit back. As a 167 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:38.600 firm NBA player. I'm fairly conservative, Anthony, with my aspects. 168 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.200 You know how I raised you. I'm fairly conservative. But 169 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.559 again there's certain things that I am Should players be 170 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.240 paid in college without a doubt, I don't care anybody says, 171 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.840 nobody's gonna get me to say no, without a doubt, 172 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.320 they should be paid period. Does America have problems with 173 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.200 when the last person on the total pok gets paid? Oh, 174 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.360 without a doubt, they lose their mind all of a sudden, 175 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.320 the games going to go away when the last person 176 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.279 on the totem polk gets paid. That's the American problem, 177 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.799 bottom line. First one to it once at all, they 178 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.840 take claims to it. Then when they have to give 179 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.840 up any of it, they say there's an issue. 180 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:14.799 That's the second thing. 181 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:19.360 So I'm not conservative in that, yes, And I'm getting 182 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.799 notices again that they can't pick it up on stream 183 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:24.879 the show guys, just to let you all know they're 184 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.960 hitting my phone. So that is another issue. So William 185 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.440 Anthony says, should the Hall of Fame be based on 186 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:36.519 their entire life? Your opinion, what do you think? Or 187 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.600 should it be based on what they've done on the 188 00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:39.519 baseball field. 189 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.799 There's a lot of horrible people, but great ballplayers and 190 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:44.480 there's a lot of. 191 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.360 Without a doubt, they're in the Hall of Fame without 192 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.159 a doubt. 193 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.000 I think you got to judge. 194 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.679 All basketball, football, all the sports, all at hockey. 195 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.120 There are a lot of bad people in the Hall 196 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:57.679 of fame. 197 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.200 And there's a lot of great guys were horrible ballplayers. 198 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:03.320 So I think you just got to look at the 199 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.639 game itself. What have they done to contribute? You can 200 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.320 ask like to the growth of the game. You can 201 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.200 look at some off the field stuff, but I think 202 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.039 you have to look at the accolades itself and what 203 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.279 they have done within the game. 204 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.039 Okay, and if we do that, there's no question Pete 205 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.879 Rose should be in on what he did on that 206 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:28.080 diamond in the infield, outfield, base hitting, stealing the whole 207 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.840 nine yards, sprinting in and out onto the field before 208 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.919 games and at the end of eight inning. Well, let's 209 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.360 play the tape before we go to break at seven seventeen, 210 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.720 let's play the tape. We're gonna listen to a little 211 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.240 bit of ESPN's analogy of what they think is transpired. 212 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.360 And again we all have known. 213 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.279 Here's the bad part, guys, that when Pete Rose died, 214 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.360 he was going to get in. So he's not in yet. 215 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.080 They just lifted He has the opportunity now to be 216 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:03.759 voted in December twentieth, December of twenty twenty seven, he 217 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:08.360 has the opportunity. The Classic Era Baseball Committee again, they're 218 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.039 the ones. The Classic Era Baseball Committee is the one 219 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.679 that can let him in, not the commissioner. But I 220 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.120 do want you to listen to a little bit of 221 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.440 ESPN before we go to break. 222 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.759 Seven months after his death, he Rose is off Baseball's 223 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.879 an eligible list. Now he's eligible for the Hall of Fame. 224 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.159 Commissioner Rob Manfred lifted the permanent ban on the all 225 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.799 time hit cap that's imposed in nineteen eighty nine when 226 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.440 Major League Baseball found that the Cincinnati Reds legend had 227 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.000 bet on his sport, end his own games. 228 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.799 One of the game's greatest players has engaged in the 229 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:53.000 variety of acts which have stayed the game, and he 230 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.519 must now live with the consequences of those acts. 231 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.440 In nineteen ninety one, the Hall of Fame and acted 232 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:04.320 a rule to keep out Rose and anyone banned from baseball. 233 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:08.480 Over and over, Rose denied having gambled on the game, 234 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:14.120 including his games while manager of the Reds. Then in 235 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:15.360 two thousand and four. 236 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:22.320 Did you bet on baseball? Yes? I did, and that 237 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.519 was my mistake not coming clean A lout earlier. 238 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:32.559 Actually, the man nicknamed Charlie Hussel never came clean. The 239 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:36.320 seventeen time All Star maintained he never bet on baseball 240 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:41.320 while still a player, but in twenty fifteen, ESPN on 241 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.799 Earth evidence of Roses bets, including on the Reds as 242 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:52.320 their player manager. Months later, Manfred rejected Rose's reinstatement request, 243 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:57.720 citing an unacceptable risk of a future violation and to 244 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.440 the integrity of the sport. 245 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.240 Tell you think I was al Capone, I'm Pete Rose. 246 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.759 I am the biggest winner in the history of sports. 247 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.799 Am I going to go to Hall of Fame once 248 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:16.799 I die? How am I going to know? Breaking news 249 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:17.840 into SportsCenter. 250 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.399 Pete Rose, baseball's all time hits leader, who was banned 251 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.200 for betting on the game, has died at the age 252 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:30.320 of eighty three. Rose's posthumous reinstatement doesn't wipe away stains 253 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.799 on his legacy, like a woman sworn statement in twenty 254 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.360 seventeen accusing him of statutory rape decades earlier and federal 255 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.720 prison time in nineteen ninety for filing false tax returns. 256 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.320 President Donald Trump says he plans to pardon the late 257 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.320 baseball legend Pete Rose. The President made the announcement yesterday, 258 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.840 criticizing Major League Baseball for barring Rose from the Sports 259 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.440 Hall of Fame. 260 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.360 In the last month, President Trump met with Manfred but 261 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.480 Rose's Hall of Fame fate is not up to the commissioner. 262 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.399 Rose will presumably be on the Hall's Classic Era Committee. 263 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:15.240 Ballot voters are told to consider integrity, sportsmanship, and character 264 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:19.799 their next scheduled vote. December twenty twenty seven. 265 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:27.919 Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio seven five got Anthony. 266 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.320 Of course, we've got the newbie William behind the glass. 267 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.559 Anthony complicated subject. I've already gotten forty nine to fifty 268 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.519 people have already liked. 269 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.279 Should Pete rose By in the Baseball Hall of Fame? 270 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:49.039 My opinion is yes, I'm going off of baseball, the 271 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:50.159 game of baseball. 272 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.480 Why I watched him, why I knew him, was. 273 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:57.039 Before the way he performed on the baseball diamond. 274 00:14:58.320 --> 00:14:58.799 That's what. 275 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.399 Now, as I matured and aged and started to see 276 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.480 the issues and the issues he had after baseball, I 277 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.360 started to see that he had a checkered past. Yes, 278 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.000 I have a friend that's really close friends with him, 279 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.279 Kevin Chrisman, who you all know is the sports memorabilia 280 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.360 guy that has given me great gifts. But he knows 281 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.720 Pete well, and he knows about his past and has 282 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.120 spoken with numerous signs about it, and of course Pete 283 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:29.879 tried to as he aged, everyone does, people mature, but 284 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.279 he does have a checkered past, so guys. End result 285 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:40.679 is when baseball opens it up. I still think that 286 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:44.200 the sports writers will vote him. No, I don't think 287 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.559 they'll let him in. My opinion, I think he should 288 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.159 be in, but I do not think I think that William. 289 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:53.080 They will stay with what you consider the integrity of 290 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:57.080 the game, which is correct. Gambling on baseball does damage 291 00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:02.159 the integrity of the game. Especially in my opinion, all 292 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.159 gambling is incorrect. But when you're throwing, if you were 293 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.039 throwing ball games, if you were not playing your best, 294 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.559 and again, I don't know. I just know the evidence 295 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:16.879 that I've read from Major League Baseball that he was 296 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.159 never gambling against his team. But you're one hundred percent 297 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:21.960 Corregt William. I don't know that to be a fact. 298 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.600 If someone does, I like for him to call in. 299 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.960 If someone has some information about did Pete Rose gamble 300 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.240 against his team when he was a player coach for 301 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.240 the Reds is an issue that I have. Yes, he 302 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.559 gambled as a player, and he gambled as the player coach. Yes, 303 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:41.399 he did so, guys, that's about it. Anything else, Anthony, 304 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.120 you got anything to add? I just hate that. In 305 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.440 one of Pete Rose's interviews, he said, I will probably 306 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.840 get into the Major League Hall of Fame after I die, 307 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.120 but I won't know it. 308 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:54.200 Does anybody? 309 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.679 Does anybody feel sorry for Pete Rose? Last question, William, 310 00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:59.960 do you feel sorry for him? Or did he make 311 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:00.840 his bed? 312 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.039 I don't really feel sorry for him. He made his 313 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.599 bed and he chose to live in it. 314 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:06.440 Hey, that's two. 315 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:07.960 I mean, when you make your bed, you have to 316 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.759 live in it. That's a piece of it. Anthony, what 317 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.279 do you think you feel sorry for people? Yeah? 318 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:16.119 I mean I agree, it's kind of simple. You know, 319 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.240 you can't make all the wrong consequences and then you know, 320 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.400 expect everybody just to get over and forgive you. Sometimes. 321 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.759 I mean sometimes people they just hold grudges and that's 322 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.599 the way that their standards and regulations are and you 323 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:28.519 just got to live with it. 324 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.200 Yeah, there are rules, guys, We do have rules, and 325 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.400 they're there for a reason. 326 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.640 I mean, I hate that I'm being a softie for 327 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.759 Pete Rose because I'm usually not. I'm usually the guy 328 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:40.440 that says. 329 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.680 Hey, it is the rule. That is the rule. 330 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:45.240 I've had this. Let me tell you. I asked people. 331 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.480 One person said, O J. Simpson got inducted to NFL 332 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.880 Hall of Fame nineteen eighty five. 333 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:51.599 Got me. 334 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.519 I just want him to know that the Nicole Brown 335 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.880 Simpson case didn't break until nineteen ninety four, so he 336 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.200 was admitted before those issues. Now there were issues they 337 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.799 with domestic violence throughout some of his marriages, but you 338 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:08.319 know that's all. 339 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.480 Okay, thank you, William. We'll bring on the next college. 340 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.440 So I just wanted to make sure I answered that 341 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.480 he was in the NFL Hall of Fame before the 342 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:20.480 Nicole Brown Simpson stabbing. Okay, So that's all that I'm 343 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.240 gonna say on that. When I just wanted to answer, 344 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.200 that was one of the things I got. So let's 345 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.880 bring ran to the show. Roan, Welcome to the sports radio. 346 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:28.480 Are you hi? 347 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.119 Jerry there? Are you all this morning? 348 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.079 Good? Good talking a little baseball, that's all. 349 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:38.960 Yeah. So I'm not calling in to defend p Rose, 350 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.960 but what I am calling in to do is question 351 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.680 you know, the word integrity, character and all that that 352 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:53.000 the empires to be in baseball. Bring up their character 353 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.079 and their integrity is what I questioned. And here's why 354 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:01.039 we're going to take on Pete Rose, was Joe Jackson, 355 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.240 because that's just one individual you know too well to count. 356 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:12.160 Choose Joe, but we refuse to take on the steroids 357 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:14.960 and the people the integrity of the games. Don't tell 358 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.880 me the integrity of the game. Was it affected by 359 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.599 the use of steroids and all the home runs that 360 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.799 were hit and the multiple stars that was involved in that, 361 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.079 and they put them in the hall. So you know 362 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:31.119 what those are called hypocrites. So I don't want to 363 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.440 hear them talk about their character and the integrity of 364 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:37.119 the games. They need to look in the mirror and 365 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.759 question their own integrity in their own character because they 366 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.359 don't have the guts or the backbone to take on 367 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:46.200 that problem. So that did, in fact, that affected the 368 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.640 game too big, in a big way, in a big 369 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:55.480 way that they were too And I think it's absolutely 370 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.000 obscene and disgusting that they chose to let this man 371 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.359 in the Hall of Fame eight months after he died. 372 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.480 Have the apportune No, that's and Pete Rose said that. 373 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:09.880 There's the audio Pete Rose saying, watch guys, I'll get 374 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.799 in the Hall of Fame and won't know it. There's 375 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.839 an audio of that. I listened last night. You're now 376 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.720 that's the part ron because yes, they were passing those 377 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:21.680 things out like like skittles. They're hitting home runs. So 378 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.119 they're hitting home runs by the droves and everyone knew that. 379 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:32.160 Maguire, Barry, Bond and on and a lot of it. 380 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:37.039 So that part, Yes, they were trying to bring back baseball. 381 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:38.359 They were trying to revive baseball. 382 00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:42.839 We go to the trend that that didn't didn't affect 383 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:45.200 the outcome of games, of the integrity of the games. 384 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:47.400 It's so hypocritical, Jerry. 385 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.920 But that's true. 386 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:49.880 That's one guy. 387 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:54.559 That's true, always, always, No, that's that is a fact. 388 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:58.680 I mean, that is one factual, and it's gone on 389 00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.599 throughout sports for a long time to where it's easier 390 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.279 to put it on one person than it is to 391 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.920 put it on the facilities or the aspect of the game. 392 00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:11.279 Let's just go back to guys. 393 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.640 Adolph Rup got killed for not wanting to play black athletes. 394 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:20.200 Supposedly he got me. I played the tape of Adolf 395 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.400 up after the game when they lost to Texas at 396 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:27.480 Colefield House, nothing but elegant, great things to say about 397 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.839 Texas West. Not one negative word got me, but the 398 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.359 n C double A and what the America wanted to 399 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.599 put everything, everything on Adolf Rup when it was not 400 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:40.200 Did you try to go to Florida? Did people try 401 00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.640
