He was a legend and should’ve been inducted into the HOF while he was still alive..

I’m old enough to remember him on the field. His hits record still stands; all with no juice. Although BB was pretty fun when all the roid boys were peaking.

Meanwhile everyone and their grandma is placing bets from their cell phones.

Yup, should be in the HOF. Put an asterisk by his name if you want. His betting had nothing to do with those hits.

Great player but lost respect for him when he destroyed Ray Fosse in an all star game.

That shows his true grit to win, he wasn't afraid of anything while he was on the field...

Pete was a super star athlete !! It infuriated me how those self righteous “good ole boys” hung him out to dry for the betting non sense-no big deal now, betting all over TV, who cares !

The Big Red Machine of the 70's was one of the best teams ever assembled. Charlie Hustle should definitely be in the HOF, dude left it all on the field every time.

For me, his extra marital affair with a 15 year old girl when he was in his 30s is more worthy of losing respect for the man than him doing a legal play on a baseball field.

Incredible ball player. All indications is he was a royal class A prick.
