boolakanaka: they way you write reminds me of “Plato” in the comic strip Beetle Bailey. I learn a lot from reading your posts (not to mention others) and often times get a big kick out of it. I would like to say this is great. Keep it up. Much Mahalo!

when we met Pete Rose at the Fourum Shops – he looked so pathetic – sitting on a folding chair behind a folding table in front of Field of Dreams – no smile, looking very depressed

we had to buy a “poster picture” to get his autograph – still unframed, but cherished by the family – also took a picture with him

perhaps “gambling” is considered a greater offense than multiple suspensions of abusing the NFL drug policy/code

whitey:

sure hope your “star reading” comes true – if so, my year of the Dragon will let out a huge roar!!!!!

yep, Clarence, Dan Inzuka, and your cousins were in the dorm with us – later couple more Mauians came in – one from kula and big Norman O – believe both were Maui Hi grads.

It’s more or less about past transgressions (on or off the field) and seeking forgiveness. The old adage that time heals all wounds may apply here, but I think it has more to do with people’s willingness to forgive over time. It was just a matter of time before the Nogas were inducted, and in Rose’s case it may prove to be the same should he be included into the Hall of Fame.

There seems to be a delay in posting. Thinking it may be on my end.

209…Shoko, I know what you are saying–I feel you, but Pete’s story is very specific as applied to his direct action as a player and manager .

Rose agreed to permanent ineligibility from baseball amidst accusations that he gambled on baseball games while playing for and managing the Reds, including claims that he bet on his own team. In 1991, the Baseball Hall of Fame formally voted to ban those on the “permanently ineligible” list from induction, after previously excluding such players by informal agreement among voters. In 2004, after years of public denial, Rose admitted to betting on baseball and on, but not against the Reds. The issue of Rose’s possible reinstatement and election to the Hall of Fame remains a contentious one throughout baseball.

A better example would be Pete Rose’s ineligibility of baseball’s Hall of Fame. A person who made mistakes in the past and continues to be admonished til this day. I think the lesson here is that past actions can still haunt you well into the future.

Congrats to the Noga’s.

Kalalea,

Does that mean you don’t think Mandela should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize or all the praise he gets? He was incarcerated, wrongfully or not.

That would also mean you don’t want Colt, Davone, Pisa, or the teams they were on to be in the CoH. (I think those three were incarcerated)
