I think pete should be in the HOF as well as Joe jacksan and a few other "bad guys" like mentioned before the guy was an awesome player and my kid and eventually grand kids should be able to see him in the hof. the Hof is a museum... a history of the best players.
here are my complete thoughts - http://metsmerizedonline.com/2014/01...-of-fame.html/

I am personally against Pete Rose, and him ever being entered back into the hall.
Let me tell you a story told to me by a former ML baseball player: (this was probably in the 1990's) We had just finished a Players' Association meeting, and I was sitting at a table in a restaurant with Yogi (Berra), Juan (Marichal) and some shortstop from St. Louis. We could hear a conversation on the table next to us. A small girl, maybe 7-8 years old asked one of the players on the table to sign her cap. The player angrily denied "I'm busy," but said the girl could have the signature for $60. She ran away crying to her family. From Yogi and Marichal's table we could hear what happened, we went over to the girl and asked to borrow her cap, then we marched over to the player. We put the cap in front of him, and demanded "now sign it, or there'll be trouble." The player was Rose.... obviously. Good ol' Pete

In pre internet days, when I was doing shows regularly, I heard from several people that Pete had a woman in every city in the Natl. League. According to what I heard he never tried to hide it and his wife knew about it. Embarrassing her was never something he worried about.
I also heard that he knowingly used his people to forge his signature in situations where he was paid to sign in private sessions. Again, these are stories I heard from others, I have no proof.

I feel like there would only be a handful of guys in the HOF if the committee made sure they were good on and off the field before entering.

I'm all for him not being allowed in baseball, but to keep him out of the HOF is a shame. He is one of the greatest players in history and for that, he deserves a plaque. We need to get off of our high horse about honor and such...the Hall is a lot of politics to begin with...look who does the voting...such a joke.

This extensive discussion concludes it is likely Cobb bet on a game.
