Rest in peace , a complicated place in the game , curious to see how MLB honors him

[Centerfield]

Fuck off pedophile.

[Edgy MD]

Wow.

Died in Vegas.

[MFS62]

Died in Vegas.

This is going to replace the Mets as the sports headline tomorrow.

Sad to see. He led a troubled life, mostly brought on by himself.

He would have given 3:5 odds that he wouldn't die.

You're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but I'm having trouble speaking well of him, too. So I'll leave that to others.

Say what you want about the man, but he always
sported a quality hair cut.

RIP baseball legend, or whatever...

Not in New York, I wouldn't think.

[Cowtipper]

Hard to believe he was 83.

[Centerfield]

I don’t get it. He wasn’t troubled. It wasn’t complicated. He was a pedophile. 12-14 year old girls. In deposition testimony his only defense was that he thought the girls were 16.

Deserves no reverence or any of that crap. I hope his death was painful.

[Batty31]

Holy shit where I have I been living. I never heard about the pedophile scandal! I just knew about the cheating scandal.

Same here. Just learned about that reading this thread. Had no idea.

[MFS62]

I've been reading some fan comments (various boards) that now that he's dead and can't enjoy it, put him in the Hall of fame.
He stained the game we love.
He still should not be in it.

Did any athlete in modern history ever self sabotage more than Pete Rose? I'm not coming up with one. Maybe Rae Carruth

He was MLB's all time retard. That's why so many people who are retarded copied his hairdo

[Cowtipper]

Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden with the drugs.

Ya'll know how I feel about the use of the word retard.

But this is just funny and spot on...

[Edgy MD]

A really sad and truly pathetic thing about narcissists and megalomaniacs is the way they ignore the inevitability of death. Their control over others and their unaccountability depends upon pretending that they are untouchable even by mortality.

I'd like to think he wasn't running a hustle even to the end, but it sure strains credulity.

Fully expect the former president to wrap himself in Rose's legacy, almost certainly holding a rally in Cincinnati before the week is out, and starring at a Rose memorial tribute in Cincy and/or Vega$ going forward.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Linked in death, too. Rose and Harrelson passed away in the same calendar year.
