Default "Hustle"

If you saw the movie about Pete Rose on ESPN, "Hustle," what did you think?

Fo you think Rose should be in the Hall of Fame or the Hall of Shame? Why? Did the movie, if you saw it, change your mind?

I saw it and thought it was OK. Yes. Rose should be in the hall of fame. He broke a long standing consecutive hit record. THAT is entry into the hall as far as I am concerned. The movie did not change my mind.

I didn't see the movie, but I think it's an unfortunate situation. MLB wanted to set stiff example, but that happened to fall upon a surefire Hall of Famer.

I believe that memories of his transgressions have faded. I think the guy is a scumbag and that what he did should absolutely negate what he brought to the game. It was 100% his choice to piss away his place in the history books.

Yeah, ole' Pete Rose shot himself in the foot. He did all of this to himself, so he is now suffering the consequences. I don't feel sorry for him.

How much did he make by selling his book and movie rights?
