Goose Gossage, Tommy Lasorda: Keep Pete Rose out of baseball – CBSSports … – CBSSports.com



July 12, 2015 12:48 PM ET

The 2015 All-Star Game will be played in Cincinnati this coming week, and it has already been confirmed all-time hit king Pete Rose will be involved in the on-field ceremonies. He’ll be joined by Reds greats Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Barry Larkin, among others I’m sure.

Rose, of course, was banned from baseball for life in 1989 after it was discovered he bet on baseball while managing the Reds in the late 1980s. A few weeks ago reports surfaced showing Rose also bet on games as a player with the Reds in 1986.

Will Rose ever fully disclose the extent of his gambling? “I’ll take that to my grave,” he said to moderator J.T. Stewart on Saturday night during an event called “An Evening with Pete Rose,” reports Jim Owczarski of the Cincinnati Enquirer. So I guess that’s a no. Rose has lobbied for reinstatement for years now.

With Rose set to take part in the All-Star festivities, two Hall of Famers have chimed in and said there is still no place for him in baseball. Here’s what Goose Gossage told Ron Clements of Perform Media:

“I don’t think he’ll ever get in, nor should he get in,” Gossage told Perform Media on Friday. “There is more to the story than Pete’s gambling and the extent of it.”

“As young players, the thing you learn early is to not gamble on the game or you will be suspended for life,” said Gossage, who has partnered with Hormel Foods to bring fans tips for a no-hassle major league tailgate.

“If we let Pete in, then gambling and everything else is out the window,” he added. “The horse is out of the barn. What will that mean?”

Now here is what Tommy Lasorda told Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times:

“You have got to be out,” Lasorda said. “He has got to be suspended for life.”

Said Lasorda: “If you are stupid enough to go out and bet on your own team and bet on baseball, there has got to be something wrong. If my brother did it, I’d say the same thing.”

“I’m not afraid to come out and say it,” Lasorda said. “Pete and I are friends. But he did something wrong, and it was terrible. You represent an organization. Wherever I go, I’m not Tommy Lasorda from Norristown, Pa. I’m Tommy Lasorda from the Dodgers.

“It’s not a question of getting a front office job, or anything like that. He got suspended. He is completely out of the game.”

I have zero doubt other former players and managers and baseball folks feel the same way as Goosage (elected to the Hall of Fame in 2008) and Lasorda (1997). They aren’t in the minority. Rose broke the biggest rule in the book.

It’s important to remember Rose agreed to his lifetime ban, it wasn’t simply handed down from baseball. He accepted the punishment and in exhange MLB agreed to make no formal finding of the gambling allegations. “There is absolutely no deal for reinstatement. That is exactly what we did not agree to in terms of a fixed number of years,” said then-commissioner Bart Giamatti following the ban.

Rose, 74, is baseball’s all-time king with 4,256 career hits. It’s hard to believe he will ever be reinstated now that evidence showing he gambled on games as a player has surfaced.

At least two Hall of Famers believe Pete Rose should not be allowed back into baseball.
