Re: Pete Rose Committed Statutory Rape (according to court docs)
My, my. Our heroes sometimes fail us. It's gross, disgusting, and old news. It's like saying someone I knew in high school is accusing me of something. And yet, it makes me sick.
Re: Pete Rose Committed Statutory Rape (according to court docs)
I will say that this news has literally no effect on my opinion of Pete Rose as a human being. It was already too low for that needle to move.

Wow, I did not know....Stay classy, Ohio.

The amazing thing about this is that Rose is the plaintiff in the suit against Dowd - in trying to "fight for his reputation" he gave Down a platform to air this again with facts.
That is some great legal strategy he is employing.

Perhaps. I think it could go bad for Pete since his public perception is fairly negative. I know a similar story that had been around for a long time came out about David Bowie when he died last year, but it blew over even amongst the crowds that usually take that kind of stuff extremely seriously, because he was so well liked.

It is actually a great number of states that have an age of consent under 18.
It's really disturbing.

Pete rarely hit homers on the field so I'm going to say he didn't hit many off it either.
Bogus story.

Re: Pete Rose Committed Statutory Rape (according to court docs)
I'm pretty troubled by what PutPeteIn considers 'homers'.
To echo Wonderful Monds, there was some pretty heinous stuff that flew in the 70s under the guise of liberation, free love, etc. Not an excuse for the behavior at all. Just a sad fact of how prevalent it was.
Re: Pete Rose Committed Statutory Rape (according to court docs)
Anyone still defending Pete Rose, at this point, should seek professional help.

Cute how it's become popular to condemn this sorta behavior nowadays. Back then it was just run of the mill, even mainstream. Don't blow this all out of proportion with all your new "enlightened" lib ideology. Nothing to see here..

Can't tell if this is a Larry Schuler post or an "Ocean Beam" post...
