====During the 1980's, Pete Rose, the Cincinnati Reds, and the Betting Scandal were often in the headlines. Pete Rose was a famous baseball player who played for and managed the Cincinnati Reds during this era. While playing he was named National League's most valuable player for the World Series. "He set 34 major and National League records". Rose's baseball career ended though when he was caught betting on games and he was banned for life from baseball. This meant that he was no longer able to associate with teams at all during games and was only allowed to participate in them as a citizen.==== ====Betting on his own team was considered a violation of major league baseball rules because he could influence the outcome of the game for his own personnal benefit. As a result of the scandal the Cincinnati Reds lost one of there best players and baseball lost an event making hero. This was significant during the 1980's because this was the time when baseball was "big". When the country found out about the scandal people were shocked that such a great athlete would ruin his career due to gambling.====

Rose had thirty-four National League records and he was considered to be one of the greatest players of all time. But that all changed when an investigator found that Rose had been betting on his team which was against baseball rules. When Rose was found guilty he was banned from baseball for life. This event caused fans to "split" in half which caused much conflict. One major conflict was whether or not Rose should be allowed to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame.==== ====Some fans believed that what he did was foolish and for that he should not be allowed to be in the hall; others disagreed. Many believe that he should be in the Hall of Fame because he set dozens of records and there were already other people in the hall did bad things and were not liked by the fans. It is a fact that Rose, "made more hits in his career more than anyone else in the game of history", and because of that many believe that he should be in the hall of fame regardless of the mistakes he made (Tuleja). They are able to support this because "In the NFL, NBA, and NHL, we have a number of players that have experienced multiple drug offense, domestic abuse charges and even weapons violations. But they are still playing" (Kiernan). This statement supports the idea Rose should be put in the hall because betting is not nearly as bad at what other athletes have done and gotten away with.====

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;"> Pete Rose's betting scandal effected many fans. To this day some still believe that he does not deserve to be in the hall of fame even though his accomplishments are much greater than others. Others believed that Rose has waited his time and for the way he played baseball and changed the game, he deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. "In the NFL, NBA, and NHL, we have a number of players that have experienced multiple drug offense, domestic abuse charges and even weapons violations. But they are still playing" (Kiernan). This statement shows that now in days we take these offenses less seriously and because of this many believe if Rose's betting scandal had taken place today the consequences would not be taken so seriously.

To place Rose and his accomplishments on the continuum, I would place him as an event making hero. I would place him here because Rose "made more hits in his career more than anyone else in the game of history" along with other great achievements such as the fact that he "set 34 major and National League records". His achievements where great, but I believe that another player just as great as him could have done it. Rose worked hard to get where he was, and to become one of the best players baseball has ever seen, but another player who tried just as hard could have made the same impact that Rose did.
