Will be coming thru shortly and give you a 3 paragraph Synopsis of the situation...

No doubt about it.

Seems somewhat appropriate today.

Some here might remember that Pete Rose and Tim McCarver were both 1959-1960 Tennessee football recruits. Both got on campus in Knoxville before choosing baseball out of HS.

McCarver, an All-Memphis end, was down to Tennessee and Notre Dame and has said he would have gone to UT if football.

It would have been a nice start to building an early 60s baseball team.

Excellent footnote to history! Thank you.

Thanks for the knowledge. Little bit before my time but I'm sure WTOB can remember this ..

I wasn't keeping up w/chit like that back then but I'm sure I was alive though.

Aren't we all? Time passes on. Does it not?

I sure as heck hope not. Most married 34 year old men aren’t having sexual relationships with 16 year olds. pretty sick in my book…

An old timer MLB Scout acquaintance of mine despised Pete Rose because of this….said there were many others.

Court doc: Pete Rose accused of statutory rape

A document in the John Dowd-Pete Rose defamation lawsuit alleges that the former player committed statutory rape in the 1970s.

I bet it happens more times than you can shake a stick at.
You just never hear about it going on w/ordinary folks like you & me.

Vols lead 13-3 going to the B 9th.

Vols are 10-0 for the season now w/this win today.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I see Georgia Bulldogs are ranked #6 in baseball. Is that correct?

Sounds about right. Remember, there are only about a half dozen ranking services for college baseball.

He left the Academy to pursue a one in 10 million dream of being a 1st round pick and Pitcher in MLB. A reasonable person wouldn’t fault him for that. Just his decision to go to LSU.

“Skenes, who recruited the Air Force Academy instead of the Academy recruiting him out of high school, cried when he left the Academy after his sophomore season. Kazlausky informed him he had no choice but to transfer to another college if he wanted to be a first-round pick and a major-league pitcher.”

I don’t care if he cried. Fact is he transferred away from a service academy so he is Grade A loser in my book.

D1Top 25 is the only one I pay attention too. The rest can kick rocks..

Short and sweet:

I think he should be in the baseball HOF regardless of what he did off the field. Yes he was a scumbag off the field but you can’t tell the story of baseball without mentioning Pete Rose. If they want to keep him out of the Hall then they need to permanently delete his name out of all the MLB registries.

Damn Lady Vols Softball is putting a hurtin on Delaware State .... 8-0 in the 3rd inning.
