Pete Rose...still lying to us

...most of his numbers were more of a bi-product of longevity than anything else and his last several years were just hanging on long enough to pass Cobb...he played for 23 years, most games played, most ABs, most PAs too, so that in itself will garner someone a lot of hits. Lifetime BA of .303...good but not otherworldly.
...don't get me wrong, his numbers are impressive, but he simply did something galactically stupid...and now he's paying for it, and IMO, he should be, as long as he's alive.

Honestly especially after these last findings I don't see him getting in until after his death.

Nor I... and I'm ok with that... I think he should be in... would like him in sooner, but don't see it til after his death

And while we wait lets get shoeless Joe in there because as Ron mentioned, there was never any real proof that he was involved in the scandal.

IF, MLB ever decides to allow Japanese league records/stats integrated with MLB stats, (which I don't see ever happening, and I'm not even sure its a good idea to do so, as Japanese Lg BB is quit a different beast in japan, than in the USA), If so, Ichiro would have 4164 hits........

15 more hits required by Ichiro to tie Tyrus Cobb.......

82 more hits to tie Rose .....
If I have my math right..........?

Unfortunately its called MLB baseball records.

Speaking of which I remember that asshole Schilling during this past Sunday nights game (in an attempt to put down Japanese baseball) saying..."if we're going to count what Ichiro did in the Japanese league then we ought to be able to count what major league players did in the minor leagues also". Just another reason to hate that prick.
