MLB 2024: Baseball is for Everyone (subject to local blackout restrictions)

Not watching the game but Mariners starter Logan Gilbert was apparently only going to pitch five innings. He’s back out there in the sixth because he has a perfect game going.

And the perfect game is over and he’s getting pulled.
 
Mets-Braves doubleheader Monday. If they split, they're both in. If one team sweeps, Arizona is in. But what's the incentive for the winner of the first game to give it their all in the second game when they could rest some players and give others playing time?
 
The Giants finally did it. Farhan is fired, and now Buster Posey is now president of baseball operations. That's an interesting choice to be sure.
 
So the Mets and Braves split their doubleheader meaning both teams and the D'backs all have records of 89-73. So which one loses out on a Wild Card berth?

Diamondbacks needed a sweep to get in. Mets advance to play the Brewers and Braves will play the Padres.
 
I went to the same high school as Pete Rose! Thirty years after he did. :lol:
 
It still sucks that players who played "juiced" can get into the BHoF while Pete can't.
Would Pete have gotten in if he had bet on teams other than his own?
 
Maybe; Rule 21(d)(1) says if you bet on a baseball game in which you have no duty to perform, you get one year of ineligibility.
 
Life long resident of Cincinnati. I'm of the opinion that Rose knew the rules and the punishment for gambling. He made his bed.

At the same time, I don't think he should be in the Hall of Fame in any capacity. If they don't want him there as an inductee, they shouldn't make money off of his accomplishments.
 
So if there's an exhibit about members of the 3,000 Hit Club, or a list of all-time hits leaders, what, they're just supposed to leave his spot blank?

If by "making money off his accomplishments" you meant they're selling Pete Rose jerseys and bobbleheads in the gift shop, yeah, I'd agree with you. But treating him like he didn't exist or his stats and records didn't happen? Not sure I could get behind that.

Do what Tecmo Super Bowl did when they couldn’t get license to a player. Use a silhouette and created identifier. Bernie Kosar was QB Browns, Jim Kelly was QB Bills and Randall Cunningham was QB Eagles. He can simply be 1B Reds.

If he isn’t good enough to be an inductee based on his actions, the Hall shouldn’t be celebrating his accomplishments.

Of course, YMMV.

It's also a museum of baseball history; there's plenty of people who haven't been inducted into the Hall who are represented in the museum, including Negro League players, women who played in the AAGPBL, and even some guy named 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson (one of the artifacts they have featured on their website is a pair of spikes he wore during the 1919 World Series). To single out Pete Rose for exclusion from the museum would be an omission akin to Soviet-style historiography and not something they should want to dabble in.
