Maybe he will finally get into the HOF now...




Here he was last year with Saban...

Charlie Hustle was to me a great player/manager. It was the betting that got him in the end! Yes I think he should be in the HOF.

A great player, no doubt. Agree, he should be in the HOF.

They're returning trophies to Reggie Bush. Might as well.

One of the best to ever play the game. Nobody would out work or out hustle him. Never fully understood the betting stuff. Sad that he went that way and never recovered. Just for what he did on the baseball field he should be in the HOF.

 

[Rsedge72]

Absolute genius at the plate!!!!

 

[It Takes Eleven]

I would've bet he'd lived longer.

Charlie Hustle. That nickname was well deserved. Talk about playing with passion and giving 110%. Got to meet him once, not an overly friendly guy. But man could he play.

Had a friend that met him. You’re being kind comparatively speaking.

He was offered ways to get back in the good graces of MLB, which would have almost surely landed him a spot in Cooperstown years ago, but he was too stubborn to get on board. I do think he will get in now, at least while some of his teammates are alive.

His lifetime ban is over

Just watch. There will be a movement to put Rose in the HOF.

HoF is deserving for what he did for his playing years. MLB needs to let the pettiness go!!
The guy was what baseball was supposed to be, wide ass open and 100% effort every moment.

In fairness to MLB, some of his former teammates had deals worked out with the Commissioner's office that would have given him a path into the HOF, but Rose refused to cooperate and basically wanted to be a martyr. I do think he deserves to be in the HOF though, and it'll happen, thanks in part to the support of those same teammates.

I try not to speak bad about the deceased, but you’re right, he was flat out not friendly.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Still remember him taking out the A’s Ray Fosse at the plate, in an All Star game. He played hard, like the game actually meant something to him…
