MLB Hit King Pete Rose Turning 70: Hall of Fame Vote Would Be Nice Birthday Gift
Baseball's all-time hits leader is still staring through the pearly gates of the Hall of Fame from the outside, as he approaches a milestone in his life. Pete Rose will turn 70 years old this week, and he's still waiting for the call from Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig.
Will he ever get the call? Does he deserve to get the call? Will one of America's top professional athletes in history ever receive the highest honor bestowed in his sport? I'm quite sure he carries a blackberry, but it ain't buzzin'. It should be, however.
Look, it's been a very, very, very long time. And Pete isn't getting any younger. Hard to believe he's gonna be 70 years old Thursday. Time is passing quickly. Hasn't he suffered enough?
He's been banned from baseball since 1989. C'mon, who are we kidding here? How much punishment is enough? I know what you're saying. And I understand there are issues. But the man has paid his dues on this one, as serious as they may be, and it's time. Isn't it?

He created baseball history long before, when he slammed into Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game. Knocked him over. Fumbled the ball. Rose scores, National League wins, and Fosse was never the same. Classic baseball moment with Rose the guiding force.
Do not stand in the baseline. :nono::1orglaugh
