JohnnyHarmonica, if I were assembling a team of ballplayers of all eras, to play ONE game, a game that had to be won, I think I'd want Pete Rose on that team. His quote, "I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball.", was one memorable comment, and I think he meant it. A fierce competitor. I'd want him on the team if I had to win one game. He has no place in the Hall. Read The Fix is In. After you've read that, the entire book, so you get the background of how the leagues were formed and the focus on rooting gambling out of the game during the game's infancy, then see if you can offer a sensible reason for Pete going in.
