Pete Rose Begs For Hall of Fame Entry In Letter To MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred

Pete Rose is making a desperate effort in hopes of getting his Baseball Hall of Fame restriction raised … sending out an extremely psychological letter to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred today to plead his case.

Charlie Hustle has actually been public opponent #1 in Cooperstown since his notorious wagering scandal emerged … and hasn’t had the ability to even smell the citizen’s tally as an outcome.

But, now that he’s 81 years of ages, Rose is taking out all the drop in hopes of one day understanding what it seems like to be called a “Hall of Famer.”

TMZ Sports has actually acquired a copy of the Hit King’s message (which was sent out to MLB workplaces on Monday) … and it’s effective things.

“I am writing today for three reasons,” Rose stated in the letter. “First, because at my age I want to be 100% sure that you understand how much I mean it when I say that I’m sorry. Second, to ask for your forgiveness. And third, because I still think every day about what it would mean to be considered for the Hall of Fame.”

Rose acknowledges the hurt he triggered individuals he likes and appreciates, along with Cincinnati Reds fans … stating it’s one of his greatest remorses.

“Besides spending time with my kids and my partner, there’s nothing that made me happier than playing baseball in front of fans. That I let them down and brought shame to the sport we all love is something I think about every single day.”

Of course, if it weren’t for the wagering scandal, Rose would be a shoo-in for the Hall — he has one of the most hits in MLB history and has 3 World Series wins, 3 MVPs and 17 All-Star choices.

In his letter, Rose even asked forgiveness to the professional athletes he played along with throughout his amazing profession … confessing harms to view them age without needing to handle any sort of debate.

“You can’t imagine how painful it is when I see my teammates from all the great teams I played on and players I played against go about their lives in ways I wanted to. I want to be a part of that too and I know I probably never will. I am so grateful for the time I shared with them on and off the field. Nothing replaces it.”

“I am asking for your forgiveness,” Rose concluded. “Despite my many mistakes, I am so proud of what I accomplished as a baseball player — I Am the Hit King and it is my dream to be considered for the Hall of Fame. Like all of us, I believe in accountability.  I am 81 years old and know that I have been held accountable and that I hold myself accountable. I write now to ask for another chance.”
