Drug enhancers, rapist, and murderers are allowed, but gambling is the big sin. You are just banging the drum with the rest of the self-important hypocrites. This man should be in the HOF more than anyone in baseball.

I don't blame Pete for being angry....Steinbressner was reinsstated into baseball for a similar offense...but for a more glamorous purpose...3 World Series titles while Pete was embarrassed by Jim Grey.

He wasn't the best hitter ever in terms of talent, but he worked so hard to get where he got that he should be a shoo-in for the hall. I live in Atl and have been a Braves fan my whole life, and i get so pissed off watching Chipper Jones play with so much talent but no hard work at all. He sets a terrible example for younger players, that you can have more talent than most but half ass everything and be a first ballot HOF. Rose is who every ball player should strive to be on the field.

Pete Rose bet on his team to win, i fail to see the negative. THere were no steroids involved, no games thrown, etc. Put Pete in the Hall.

if pete rose would have done all the same things from the records, to collisions, to the gambling BUT had just done it all wearing a yankees uniform he would be in the HOF. if you think differently you're a stupid naive individual

So he gambled on baseball. He also broke records. He also gave his life to baseball. He also gave his all on every single play. Pete Rose for the Hall!

This whole Pete Rose thing is childish and ignoratn. Dude has 4200 hits and change, no one is ever gonna come close to getting that much ever. Cuz he gambled a little bit he is out of the HOF. How could you put any of the cheating ass steroid users before Rose, at least he didn't cheat in the game. And seriously id Lawrence Taylor get into the footbal HOF after years of drug abuse and now he is a registered sex offender, why in the hell is Pete Rose still not in the HOF. MLB, grow up

[phillyspartanfan]

To me, this is a really tough issue. On the one hand, it appears that Rose never "fixed" any games or anything like that; he merely placed bets. I'm not saying I would ENCOURAGE that, per se, but is it really THAT big of a deal in the larger scheme of things? On the other hand though, it's hard for me to cry myself to sleep feeling sorry for this guy because he spent over a decade LYING about all of this. I'll say this though: if Rose doesn't get in, they had BETTER NOT let the dopers in.

Pete Rose was the best! MLB is a bunch of hypocrites! They didnt want Pete managing my Reds...we would have ruled baseball for decades! You cant have a small market team like mine winning all the time. LOL! Its all about the New York Skankees!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?

[Peace4905]

Enough is enough, Rose needs to be in the HOF! Greatest hitter ever!

[beniceokay]

I agree, it's similar with cal ripkin jr, great shortstop who played a long time, but statistically I would rather have Larkin who is not yet in the Hall, but on the doorstep.

[MrBillyBatts1]

@beniceokay hey im not saying the guy was a bad player, far from it and i agree its kinda neat he was an all star at 5 different positions as you certainly dont see that all the time. But with that said he's not the greatest hitter ever to live, not even top 10, im not saying he was a bad hitter either. Had things not happened the way they did he's a first ballot HOF'er no doubt and thats nothing to be ashamed about
