After Archie and Pistol Pete, Charlie Hustle was easily young guido’s favorite athlete
bc of him Reds were my team then Phillies
Loved everything about the way he played
Was sad to hear about his clay feet, but still think he should be in the Hall

Oh, you know now they're gonna put him in posthumously. Cos it's just the right thing to do, donchaknow.

RIP Pete Rose. One of the best pure hitters ever, and that's no exaggeration.

And despite his personal demons, MLB needs to do the right thing.

As Oscar Wide once noted sardonically as well as sarcastically, "Everyone loves you when you're dead". I would slightly paraphrase Wilde's witty remarks to say that applies to most people because their are and have been people throughout history,, that moat people immediately after their deaths and progressively moreso decades or centuries after their deaths, are very glad and happy their gone.


Sad, desperate reality about Wilde's remarks is how prophetic they were regarding him because he was openly gay in a period of history (late Victorian UK) where homosexuality was a crime that could lead to imprisonment, exile or be institutionalized. Their were laws on the books in the UK criminalizing private consentual acts until 1966/1967 when Labour PM's Harold Wilson liberalized it. Wilde spent the last year of his life in exile, sick dying in Paris.

Compared to the HR hitters and pitchers who took steroids and PED's to.extend their careers or helped to contribute to give them HOF careers, Rose is a choir boy.

Wilde was certainly not OPENLY gay
His boyfriend’s dad outed him and he sued the dad for defamation
