SPORTS The View From Here For Pete's sake! Let him in! In 1989 one of baseball's all-time greats was banned from baseball for life. Ten years later, Pete Rose is still trying to get his way back into Major League Baseball and further more into the Hall of Fame. In Au gust of 'B9, Rose agreed to a life time ban for gambling. The ban means that he is ineligible to be in ducted into the Hall of Fame, which he righfully deserves. The settle ment he signed did not conclude whether or not he did actually gamble on baseball. Part of the settlement included that he could apply for reinstatement the follow ing year. The commissioner at the time of the signing of the agree ment, A. Bartlett Giamatti, died be fore the year waiting period was up. During Giamatti's service as com missioner, he never resolved the matter of whether Rose engaged in sports gambling at all.

Commisioner Giamatti had bad blood with Rose the year prior to his ban. Dur ing the 1988 season, while Rose was the manager of the Reds, he bumped an um pire arguing a call. Giamatti immedi ately suspended him for thirty days. The commissioner received many complaints and protests that the punishment was much too severe.

Statistics show that his support from the fans has nearly doubled since 'B9. Many believe that he didn't gamble on his team. Al though Rose has admitted that he gambled, it was only on football. If gambling is a crime then everyone who goes to casinos or even plays the lottery if just as guilty. As long as he didn't bet against his own team he didn't affect the results of the outcome. Even if he did bet in favor of his own team, which he denies ever doing, what is wrong with that? It is absurd to keep such a great player out of the Hall. Rose is the all time career hits leader with 4,256; he also leads the Major League with 14,053 at-bats and 3,562 games. His awards include two gold gloves in left field and he won the National League For up to date sports scores around the clock call the SPORTSLINE at: (814) 898-6163 and Press 1 Rookie of the Year in 1973. Anyone who is a baseball fan has to love this guy. Rose played with guts, determi nation, and the will to win. Nothing would stop him from getting what he wanted. He was the type of player you loved to have on your side, but hated to face. He would sacrifice his body for his team. If you stood in front of the plate when he was trying to score he'd simply lower his shoulder and send you in one direction and the ball in another. He had what it takes to play baseball. Rose should be an example of what today's athletes follow. His nickname, "Charlie Hustle" told his style. He always gave 100% in every game he played. He was a player who loved and respected the game. Without effort I could think of many players in major sports that are far worse than Pete Rose that are still play ing the game or are in the Hall of Fame.

Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig has agreed to hear Rose's case. If he in fact is rein stated, he will most likely be elected into the Hall of Fame. If he isn't rein stated, one of the premier players of baseball will be missing from the hal lowed halls of Cooperstown. Rose has stated, "The only reason I want to get back is to be on the field (managing). A Cooperstown plaque would be nice, but that's not my objective in life. That means more to my two kids." Rose himself doesn't show much concern of getting the recognition he deserves, but it would mean a lot to his fans. Over twenty pieces of Rose's memorabilia are currently displayed in the Hall of Fame, if it's good enough for the bats and balls he played with, why isn't it good enough for him?
