European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 23, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 24 a a the stars and stripes wednesday january 23, 1991 Hall fighting to keep Pete s by Joe Gergen new Day angry Telephone Calls fanned by the encouragement of a Cincinnati radio station were limited to one Day. The flow of mail in the Many a behalf has been. Reduced to a trickle. Weeks after a special committee recommended a Rule that would effectively bar Pete Rose from the National baseball Hall of Fame the clamor a if that a what it was a has subsided in Coop Erst own. Howard c. Talbot jr., director of the baseball shrine said the Vilall received a no More than 60 or 70 letters a regarding roses eligibility. Exactly six pieces of mail arrived two weeks ago director Bill Guilfoile. A four were in favor of Rose appearing on the ballot a he said. A two were against he said officials had braced for a greater outpouring of Public expression on the was however one letter on Talbot a desk that merited scrutiny. It was sent by Mark Lewis a Long Island real estate Man who had donated the Philadelphia according associate Pete Rose Phillies uniform in which Rose surpassed Stan Musial As the All time National league hit Leader. �?o1 asked them to Send it Back a Lewis said a a that a my according to the gift agreement Lewis signed More than eight years ago the Hall of Fame is entitled to keep the uniform As Long As it continues to display it. Currently it resides on the second floor of to lip museum in an exhibit tracing the history of baseball encased with other significant Phillies artefacts including Steve Carlton Scy Young awards. The decision to prevent a vote on roses suitability for enshrinement by the baseball writers association of America will have no effect on displays of Rose Memorabilia Talbot said. A a he a still a part of baseball history a the director said a and he a going to be recognized for its precisely that attitude that moved Lewis to action. A i m not the biggest Pete Rose fan in the world a he said. A in fact i done to even like him As a person. But i think if you re Banning him then you be charging people to look at things associated with him. I think its hypocritical.�?�. In a previous life Lewis was a dealer in baseball cards. He and his half brother Warren Karp published a card Price guide and also organized autograph shows including Many attended by Rose. They arranged to buy the Many a uniform after Rusc collected hit no. 3,631 on aug 10, 1981, against the cardinals. They paid $7,150, an amount that qualified for entry in the guinness Book of records. Sentiment had nothing to do with it. A i thought it would be Good publicity for the business a Lewis said. A i had Pete sign every piece of after displaying the entire uniform in the card store they operated in Medford they sold the shoes to renowned collector Barry i la per for $2,000 in 1982, then donated the Cap shirt pants and socks to the Hall of Fame a non profit organization that does not Purchase Memorabilia. Their generosity was noted in the display Case. A that would have been sufficient for Lewis he said if the special committee Hadnot voted to recommend to the Hall of Fame a Board of directors that a any person on baseball a ineligible list shall not be eligible for Elco Tion to the Hall of the Board a including several of the members who sat on the special committee a is scheduled to meet feb. 4 to determine the suitability of Rose who was banned from an Active role in the sport by the late commissioner Bart Giamatti it August 1989, and its approval of the committees suggestion is a foregone conclusion. Rose released last week from a detention facility where he served time for income tax evasion would be included on next years ballot if not for the unprecedented action. Ironically Lewis decided the. Payment he made to Rose was among the reasons the player was imprisoned. A a in a sure my uniform was part of his tax thing a Lewis said. A the never claimed any of that on his tax forms a still he reasoned As have others that they re not going to ban him for the Hall of Fame for tax fraud. At the heart of baseball Scase against Rose one never spelled out in writing As the result of an agreement Between the player and commissioners of fice is gambling on baseball. Certainly that does no to Surprise Lewis who occasionally socialized with Rose during autograph shows. A a he a a great ballplayer a the Man said a but. He a not Nice. I done to want anyone to idolize Pete yet it is Lewis Contention that the Hall of Fame should not be in the position of honouring roses deeds while ignoring the Man. In effect he has told them let him in keep my uniform. Ban him give it Back. A he said if the Hall returns it he might display it on Long Island he also might sell it because he estimates its current value on the inflated Memorabilia Market would be at least $75,000. A a. It is the museums Contention that it belongs in Cooperstown As per the contract signed eight years ago. A a there a a procedure we have to go through in a Case like this a said Talbot who is not a member of the Board of directors and has no vote on roses eligibility. A it would need approval from the Board. There a rare instances when people want something Back that a been donated. In some cases we return them. In some cases we done to. It is our Hope to retain this Lewis said if officials do not relent he intends to pursue Legal action. Peter Clark the registrar at the Hall of Fame estimated there Are 25 to 30 items associated with Rose in the museum including a about 15 direct materials a among them bats balls and uniforms from roses stays in.mon-. A trial and Cincinnati. The latter was the one he wore on the night he replaced Tycobb As baseball Sall time hit Man. The future of that uniform also is in doubt. A a it son loan from Rose a Clark said.
