I lived in Cincy 1973-1974 during the Big Red Machine days.... That whole team first got me into MLB. Riverfront was my 1st ever pro stadium. Lots of cool memories from that short stay in Ohio.

I was at the game in '88 when he was managing the Reds where he shoved umpire Dave Pallone after a close call in the 9th inning vs the Mets. He ended up getting a 30 day suspension and fine. RIP Pete.

RIP Pete maybe the greatest to ever play the game.

Sad we can let people who commit real crimes run free but because a man broke the rules in baseball we withhold him from the Hall of Fame for life? Ridiculous.

I met him 20 years ago at a ball signing at Caesar's Palace. I asked him who was the toughest pitcher for him to face and he said Juan Marichal and then he looked at me and said "but you didn't f#*k with Gibson."

Does he get in the Hall of Fame now? Pete was banned for life. He and Joe Jackson have served that sentence.

My understanding is that its a PERMANENT ban. He will never be admitted to the HOF.
