Default Pete Rose documentary on HBO/Max 😬

I may be late to this, and I did search for threads but didn’t find any on the Pete Rose documentary series on HBO/Max

I would like to suggest that every potential voter for the HOF watch this series before casting their vote. I had been told about this recently from a local collector friend and finally found time to watch it.

If you haven’t watched it, I would recommend it highly… it’s not a fun watch, but it sure is revealing. I totally understand the reality that he wouldn’t be the first “great player/bad human” inducted. But for me as a fan, why do it again just because voters made mistakes in the past? His records are on the museum so fans do get to experience his on the field accomplishments.

But to celebrate him with the highest honor as an inductee? My vote as a fan would be a hard stop NO.

It’s even a more definitive NO after watching this. As others have said, it’s also sad as so many of us were such fans of the player as kids… but as an adult now, there is more to being a fan than just what athletes do on the field. (And speaking of which, I know I am in the minority, but I surely don’t celebrate what he did to Ray Fosse in the all-star game in the early 70’s. That was an all star exhibition game. Just an over the top play in a game that did not matter. Have some respect for your peers, man)

Check this docu-series out - it’s a rough watch, but an important one.
