I read them both as part of my daily routine and appreciate each of them for the different things they bring to the table. Same owner, but very different standards.

Guess he's the Commissioner of Baseball now.

bk400- Interesting for sure. In addition to the obvious roadblock of Rose
repeatedly and knowingly violating "rule #1" and lying about it during the investigation, there's also the subtext of the "floodgate" argument for anyone else who is currently banned/shunned from HOF- "Rose got in and I didn't do anything as serious and long term as he did. I should get in too". I don't know, I still don't like his chances... Trent King |

I agree. I don't think that players, who knew the one thing you didn't do was bet on baseball, are going to vote Pete Rose into the HOF. I think the writers would have, but the HOF changed the rules so the writers wouldn't get the chance.

It's sure a weird HOF. All time hit leader? No. All time HR leader? Nope. Top 5 pitcher of all time? Negative.

3rd (or 4th if you count Negro Leaguers) highest career batting average? No.

Unfortunately I think cheating was or maybe still is endemic in cycling. So, like baseball, you're only punishing a percentage of the cheaters and letting other cheaters acfhieve exalted status -- is that acceptable or fair, I don't know. Seems there is no good solution.
