Pete Rose Unforgiven Forever?

Pete Rose Unforgiven Forever?. In July 1996 Benjamin Jones opened up the "Pete Rose Cooperstown Countdown" webpage where baseball fans were asked to cast their vote to put Pete in the Hall of Fame - or - keep him in the Hall of Shame.. Nearly 500,000 fans voted and over 3000 submitted a written reason to the "Pete Rose Fan Forum" page explaining why they voted the way they did.. This book chronicles what Pete did "between the white lines" in terms of his records and achievements over his entire career. The author chose the best fan responses - for and against Pete - to also include in the book. The Chinese general, military strategist, writer and philosopher Sun Tzu wrote in his "Art of War" when an army surrounds its enemy it is prudent to "leave an opening". This strategy is often referred to as building a "Golden Bridge".. Jones makes an appeal to the commissioner of Major League Baseball with a challenge to let the Baseball fans of America vote - for the first time ever - for a Baseball Player to be inducted into the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame. This is a great "opening" for the Commissioner.. It will give fans a role they never envisioned. It will also solve a huge credibility problem with MLB.
