So he makes that pitcher who needs a day off pitch so he can win his bet

And the guy hurts his arm and his career is over. He bet on baseball and then thumbed his nose at the game and denied (and there is evidence he bet against his team). Big fan of Pete, but he was controversial. I do hope he gets in now and may he RIP

Big Red Machine was my childhood

My favorite player in my childhood. RIP Charlie Hustle.**
Nortazhokie • 09/30/24 07:45 PM ET
Mine too. Gave 1000% 1000% of the time.**
Riverguy • 09/30/24 08:14 PM ET
Yep, even ran to first base when he earned a base on balls, IIRC.**
Nortazhokie • 09/30/24 08:57 PM ET
Put him in the hall!**
HokieJamie • 09/30/24 07:38 PM ET
Agreed. Although the WWE did put him in theirs.
KCHokie2 • 09/30/24 08:37 PM ET
He was our favorite player when my brother and I were kids.
WVHokie84 • 09/30/24 07:31 PM ET
Ditto. My mancave is adorned with BRM memorabilia. **

Then you can appreciate this...got it in '74 when we went to Cincinnati.
WVHokie84 • 10/01/24 03:09 PM ET
That’s awesome!**
Burke Hokie • 10/01/24 03:56 PM ET
Talk about a rough few days! Here's where I get controversial:
Hokie CPA • 09/30/24 07:29 PM ET
There is a sports book in Cin's baseball stadium
Vienna_Hokie • 09/30/24 09:28 PM ET
I wouldn't consider that controversial...seems reasonable to me.
MP4VT2004 • 09/30/24 08:13 PM ET
He bet on his team to WIN. BFD. The whole thing was idiotic. **
Coach McGuirk • 09/30/24 07:35 PM ET
Betting on his team impacts decisions on how he played/managed games.
HokieToph • 10/01/24 12:35 PM ET
True, but the issue that arises is that he didn't bet on every game. Say
tchokie • 09/30/24 09:15 PM ET
Iirc he didn’t bet on the days Mario Soto pitched **
HokieJamie • 09/30/24 09:49 PM ET

turkeywinghokie • 09/30/24 08:17 PM ET
He was punished enough. Agree with Jamie he should be HOF eligible. **
RoswellGAHokie • 09/30/24 08:29 PM ET
I agree. Let him in now.**
WVHokie84 • 09/30/24 07:34 PM ET
Took my breath away when I saw this a few minutes ago
Burke Hokie • 09/30/24 07:29 PM ET
We've lost three Reds in 2024: Don Gullett, Pat Zachry, and now Rose.
WVHokie84 • 10/01/24 03:14 PM ET
There's a lot of that going around these days**
JoesterVT • 09/30/24 07:28 PM ET
😢😢😢...RIP Charlie Hustle.**
