The President intends to pardon Pete Rose.

I bet the ratio suggests coattails on that one.

Barry and Bobby Bonds

Barry and Bobby Bonds

I know you're joking, but I looked it up, and Bobby had almost 1900 hits.

Bobby and Barry Bonds
Ken Griffey Sr and Jr
Gus Bell and Buddy Bell

Can’t remember if Felipe and Moises Alou were 5th

Gwynns

Not even top 10 (I think)

Fielders?

They did not have that many hits, but they are the only father son due to hit 50+ HRs in a season.

And you have no issues with the distorted results? How about if your Celtic’s team doctor developed an undetectable drug that improved the leaping ability and foot speed of every player on the team by 20%?

An unlikely hypothetical but the advantage would allow the Celtics to dominate, distorting team results and individual statistics. The games become meaningless.

This is what Bonds, McGwire and the other suspects did to the game.

No mercy. No HOF. No way. No how.

Meh. Great pitchers still handled them. Maddox, Clemens, Randy Johnson.

Sosa is infinitely more deserving of the HOF over Rose.

Went to a trivia night at a local bar last Fall. One of the questions was to list the top 5 father-son duos based on combined hits. Pete and Pete Jr. are fourth all time.

Easy peasy

Of course he can't pardon him off MLB's ineligible list, but he can pardon posthumously for federal tax evasion. The article does offer some speculation and hope (for some of us) that MLB will state that anyone on the ineligible list who has died is "eligible" which would mean the writers would be free to vote for him for the Hall of Fame:

Donald Trump Says Pete Rose Will Get Posthumous Pardon

Rob Manfred is reportedly considering removing Pete Rose from MLB's ineligible list after Trump said he'll posthumously pardon the late Rose.

Pete Rose should be in HOF.

Now this is just crazy talk.

You need to stop buttoning the top button on your polo shirts. It’s cutting off Oxygen to your brain.

That summer of Sammy and Mac was must watch.

That summer of Sammy and Mac was must watch.

Edited as I forgot to mention the most important part: I went with my dad.

One of my fondest memories is going with my dad to watch the Cardinals v. Reds at Riverfront in 1998. I believe McGwire had hit is 60th the day before. He did not get his 61st until two days later. We sat in the outfield with all of the crazies hoping to catch a historic home run ball. I remember sitting in the stands with my dad knowing it was one of those moments in your life that you never forget.
