Miami, Florida.- I write this text because, inexplicably, there are people who insist on talking about the 4,256 hits of Rose as if someone, ever, had erased them.
They do not know that in the Cooperstown Baseball Museum there are several objects that belonged to it, because it is part of the story.
No one has anything personal against Pete Rose.
Having seen him play is one of the most outstanding privileges that we can remember baseball fans that we had that fortune.
We cannot forget it by arriving at home, hitting as if it were easy, putting a knee so that a ball would send it to Primera, embellishing anywhere, as if it really was life that was played by arriving still at a base.
For “adult-contemporary” Venezuelans, Venevisius’ Hit 4.192 with which he left Ty Cobb behind, and that made him “the human being with more unstoppable in history.”
Rose’s service sheet is extensive:

⁃ Fue elegido miembro del Equipo del Siglo de MLB. None of this is possible to hide it, nobody has tried to do it, it is impossible, this enumeration is not an invention, they are achievements that he obtained with his talent, delivery and style of play. It has not been due to lack of numbers that was sanctioned. That has not been a discussion.
It is precisely because it is a player of those dimensions, that it hurt so much that he was involved in the most serious offense that can be committed against the integrity of the game, the violation of a rule, known by him, which resulted in permanent expulsion, because he gets involved in bets.
The Palmares de Rose is so true that it must be valued by the voters to whom that choice touches, such as the fact of having opted in games in which I was directing; Both things have their specific weight.
The discussion of whether he did it against or not, that it is not possible to prove, there is plenty, the rule is very clear, they should not bet, point.
The decision to lift the veto is controversial, but it makes all the meaning if we think that the origin of rule 21 had as an essential objective, to prevent offenders from having the possibility of returning to the major league baseball and recurring, the fact that they are deceased, is an argument that I think is very valid; The sanction was “for life.”
He read and read in the rule that everyone knows from day one as professionals, no one can claim that he did not know.
