Topps baseball cards refuses to name Pete Rose as Hit King

[Hoosier_Vol]

Pete Rose -- Major League Baseball's all-time Hit King -- is banned from baseball. We know this. That doesn't mean we're banned from acknowledging that he exists, yet that's exactly what Topps baseball cards has decided to do (via Chicago Side Sports).

So stupid.

They are just pissed that nobody collects baseball cards anymore.

 

[Mr_Henley]

He's the Hit King in my book.

 

[005]

certainly.

Maybe Jeter will pass him. The Yankees could hire him as player-manager and he could keep writing his own name in the lineup every day until he's 45 years old, despite being one of the worst players in baseball. That might get him there.

Thank you. Punch and Judy Pete is so overrated.

.313 career average, 3300+ hits, 500 doubles, 1200+ rbis, 1800+ runs...

Overrated?

Don't be dummies.

Totals are overrated. However, Jeter's .313/.382/.448 line at short is really good. Those numbers make him a HOF.

However, Jeter's D is bad.

That's dumb

Unpopular opinion from a Reds fan, but who cares? They can do what they want. No one wants a baseball card with an old lesbian on it anyway.
