No HOF For Pete
Just heard on the radio that there will be no HOF for Pete Rose. Bummer imo for such a great Baseball player.

I think he's done adequate penance, at this point. Let the punishment fit the crime. I would reinstate him.

I agree. He's not OJ Simpson. Or Hernandez from the Patriots. He deserves to be reinstated. People can make their own judgement.

I would put him in the Hall of Fame solely on the basis of two things he said. One, "I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball." Two, when asked why he was taking batting practice on a day off following a doubleheader in which he went 6 for 8, he said, "They got me out twice."

+1 big time, Hell, 26 years is enough punishment. Look at others in the Hall, some have very shaky backgrounds....

I fall on the side of it being the "baseball" hall of fame not the "personality and upstanding moral character" hall of fame.
To leave out the all time hits leader, home run record holders, arguably the best pitcher in history, and others in a misguided attempt to legislate character takes the credibility of this being a shrine to the "greatest to play the game" and rumples it like a ball of discarded paper into a trash bin. Do I like them all? Hell no. Should the best to play the game be in the hall of fame no matter what? Hell yes.
