Orioles star would put Pete Rose in Hall of Fame, but 'I get both sides'

Pete Rose is finally eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but he may not be as much of a lock as people think he is.
Rose's on-field resume speaks for itself - he is MLB's all-time hit king, won three World Series and was a 17-time All-Star with a career .303 batting average.
However, his gambling spurned his baseball life.

In 1989, amid accusations Rose had bet on the game while he was playing and managing, he was handed down a lifetime ban from the game. Two years later, the Hall of Fame said that anyone on baseball's ineligible list would not be eligible to be voted on.
However, MLB announced earlier this month that ineligibility ends after death, thus making Rose a candidate for Cooperstown. In all likelihood, Rose will get in, but some will always feel a type of way - including current All-Star shortstop Gunnar Henderson.
"He's obviously one of the game's greatest hitters. I don't know. I get it, but at the same time, he's one of the game's greatest players of all time. Leader in hits. Glad to see it, but also get both sides of it," the Baltimore Orioles star said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital, but Henderson eventually begrudged.

"I would let him in. I mean, he's just too great of a player to not be in it," he obliged.
Henderson spoke to Fox News Digital on behalf of VKTRY, as he has been wearing their insoles since spring training. He said he saw their ads on Instagram, wore them, and never looked back.
"I was kind of intrigued by the idea behind it and the science behind it. So it was really cool when I had the opportunity to join the team," he said. "I kind of tested them out in spring training this year. For me, stability is a big thing, especially in the infield, in the box. That was the biggest thing I had to check off the list, and they passed the test."

Henderson is batting .301 with an .883 OPS in his last 23 games, so it is easy to see why he is a fan VKTRY insoles. However, he is going to have to wear them for a long time if he has any hopes of catching up to Rose.

Incongruity of World Test Championship final fails to dampen Australian excitement
In Australia it is winter, and it is footy season. AFL, NRL, the works. The autumn was passing strange, with unnervingly high temperatures and Gold Coast Suns in the top four. But now it is June, and feeling more as it should, with nights in the southern half of the continent dipping deep into single degrees. The Raiders must be breathing out steam on Canberra mornings, half remembering dreams of ending a premiership wait. And strangely positioned among all this, the Australian Test team is getting ready to play cricket. Australian winter tours happen, but outside the occasional Asian or Caribbean jaunt this century, they're confined to quadrennial visits to England. Two years ago, the first time Australia qualified for a World Test Championship final, that match came directly before an Ashes series. As well as turning the supposed culmination into an incongruous entree, it also made the WTC final melt into the Ashes summer. Advertisement Related: Pat Cummins: 'We want to play hard and fair, and I think we've got it right' This time, things are different. England will shortly start another five-Test series with India, but neither side is involved in the WTC. So it will be England the cricket board rather than England the cricket team that hosts Australia and South Africa, whose struggle for the right to be called world champions will be based not on a series but a single match. An imperfect mechanism, but it means that this time around, in an Australian consciousness, that match will stand alone. So it is that among the footy news of dawn beach sessions and tribunal verdicts, Pat Cummins is back at Lord's this week after half the time that an Ashes cycle would otherwise dictate, wearing the green cap and blazer while wandering about the pavilion doing moody photo shoots as one half of an exercise in height contrast with South Africa's Temba Bavuma. Their squads run drills on the main turf, the pleasantness of white knitted jumpers covering the ugliness of synthetic training kit. The timing may be incongruous, but that classic visual cue says it's time for a Test. The ICC has gone full-court press on promotion, making sure these images are distributed far and wide. Their Hall of Fame announcement was what the marketing types might call something like a brand crossover activation, with four of the seven inductees reflecting the upcoming contest: for South Africa, batting contemporaries Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla; for Australia, their rival Matthew Hayden, along with New Zealand player but current Australia assistant coach Daniel Vettori. Advertisement Approaching the third WTC final, the concept of a Test format decider is starting to cut through. Press access is oversubscribed, largely by English publications for a neutral contest. Public tickets are sold out. It will be a different crowd to the usual. London has plenty of Australians and South Africans, and the latter are starving for global tournament success in any form, so expect both camps to turn out in numbers. After the unhinged reaction that Lord's gave Australia in 2023, in a spontaneous bout of moralising from the Long Room to the back rows, it might make for a nicer atmosphere to have the England supporter base diluted. It will still be plenty aggressive on the field. Kagiso Rabada's preparatory outing against Zimbabwe was vicious, the ball rising from a length at serious pace again and again. Marco Jansen swings it left-arm from a release point about 10ft off the ground. Keshav Maharaj is a vastly experienced left-arm spinner who the Australians in their World Cup semi-final treated with a respect bordering on hypnosis. The fourth link in that bowling chain could be several options, but none that maintains the proven quality of the other three. The Australians have an edge there, with Cummins likely to join Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood yet again in a fully rounded attack. When Scott Boland took 10 Indian wickets in the Sydney Test last January, he looked the man, but Hazlewood recovered from injury to dominate a title-winning IPL season. Boland has been wildly successful in scant opportunities, but Hazlewood has 279 Test wickets, and last year took them at 13 runs apiece. Current Australian selection tends towards stability, so career-length pedigree should pip one of the best understudies the game has seen. Related: Australia v South Africa: where the World Test Championship final will be won and lost Advertisement Likewise, the other selection questions feel all but decided. Sam Konstas is unlikely to be thrown in at Lord's as he was at the MCG, with Marnus Labuschagne the seasoned candidate to open instead. That means Cameron Green takes Labuschagne's slot at No 3, after a run-filled county cricket stint. With Green unable to be a fifth bowler due to injury, Beau Webster stays at six. Though if selectors trust the fitness of their four main bowlers, Josh Inglis should be considered for that spot, not just because of his recent century on debut in Sri Lanka, but his ability to problem-solve so many batting situations. Whatever the configuration, the players are excited, the press attentive, and the audience has committed. The Test decider is vindicated further each time it is played. It may be a strange time of year for an Antipodean, and a strange tournament structure for anybody involved. But the important thing now is the game: jumpers on, caps fitted, seats taken, rain cursed, sunshine welcomed. Channel changed. The footy can wait a week.

ICC Honors Seven Cricket Stars with Hall of Fame Induction
ICC Honors Seven Cricket Stars with Hall of Fame Induction originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has inducted seven players into its Hall of Fame, recognizing their enduring impact on the sport during a ceremony at London's renowned Abbey Road Studios. Advertisement The Class of 2025 features five men's cricket icons: Hashim Amla, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Matthew Hayden, Graeme Smith, and Daniel Vettori, alongside women's cricket pioneers Sana Mir and Sarah Taylor. Their inclusion brings the total number of Hall of Fame members to 122. 'This year, we are privileged to induct seven truly outstanding individuals into this prestigious group,' said ICC Chairman Jay Shah. 'On behalf of the ICC, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to each of them and hope they cherish this well-deserved recognition as a defining moment in their cricketing journey.' Amla, who scored over 9,000 runs in Tests for South Africa, described the honor as 'surreal,' adding, 'It is an honour to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, especially alongside Graeme.' India's Dhoni, famed for leading his country to titles in all three major ICC formats, remarked, 'To have your name remembered alongside such all-time greats is a wonderful feeling.' Advertisement Former Australian opener Hayden, once the holder of the highest Test score, called the honor 'incredible,' while Smith, South Africa's longest-serving captain, noted, 'This is also a proud moment for South Africa.' New Zealand's Vettori, who amassed over 300 wickets in both Tests and ODIs, said he was 'overwhelmed' to join such esteemed company. Pakistan's Sana Mir reflected on her journey: 'From dreaming as a little girl that one day there would even be a women's team… this is a moment I couldn't have dared to imagine.' England's Taylor, known for her sharp glove work and World Cup heroics, said, 'Being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame is one of the best moments of my life.' Advertisement The ceremony, aired globally by ICC broadcast partners, also marked the lead-up to the ICC World Test Championship Final between South Africa and Australia at Lord's. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.
