Pete Rose, what a waste! The way he maliciously & ruthlessly plowed over Ray Fosse, unnecessarily, during the 1970 All Star game was appalling. Even worse, he seriously injured Fosse's shoulder to the point that the incident completely hindered Fosse's potential of being the premiere Catcher in the American League. Fortunately, Fosse still went on to have a decent career, part of which was with the world champion Oakland A's in 1973 & 1974. That gambling fool, Rose, must, imperitively NEVER be inducted into the Hall of Fame. If he were to be, that would be the ultimate travesty of justice!
