Charlie Hustle should only be inducted into the HOF after he dies. He should not be allowed to give an induction speech.

[Huntress]

Can anyone get the poll to work? I tried to view the results in two different browsers (Firefox and Explorer), and I can’t get them to come up.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I’m going to bet he does get in.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Glad to see Pete Rose way ahead in this poll. He is still a baseball icon and should be in the Hall of Fame.

[skeeter]

If Barry Bonds is eligible then so should Pete Rose.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

No. Now, can we solve some real problems?

[Pearls Before Swine]

I’d allow him in, with a big fat asterisk next to his name.

Admitting too a little gambling with insider info after 15 years of denials and then getting put in prison for tax evasion... who really got hurt? While we are at it... let’s go ahead and give Lance back his yellow jerseys. Everyone Lance was competing against was cheating too.

Pete Rose belongs in the hall of fame - period.

If Pete Rose is banned from baseball, then he should not be allowed in. One of the criteria of the Hall of Fame is that no player on the ineligible list is allowed in.

[BobL]

Baseball doesn’t need to stoop to his level.

[BenLurkin]

Hall of Shame

[dainbramaged]

The Skechers shoe commercial he does flat out mocks the Hall of Fame. Good baseball player, total scumbag as a human being. He does not belong in the Hall.

[morphing libertarian]

Yes

[stylin19a]

Only after Joe Jackson gets in

[Scoutmaster]

There's a thing but meaningful distinction at play.

Pete Rose was not banned for life.

Pete Rose agreed to be banned for life and did so for at least one reason we all should be expected to know.

[sargon]

There IS no Baseball Hall of Fame without Pete Rose. I will never visit it until after he’s inducted.

[Gay State Conservative]

When you can convince me that President Obola belongs on Mount Rushmore then you can talk to me about Charlie Boxcars getting into the HOF.

Until then...save your breath.

[haroldeveryman]

As long has he bet on himself, and not against himself, what’s the harm?

[gingerbread]

Because of the “BLACK SOX” scandal in baseball, the sport specifically forbade “BETTING” on the games you are to play in. Pete Rose knew the rules, but he thought he wasn’t going to get caught. Sorry Pete, but you knew what you were doing. You weren’t just an innocent bystander. YOU PLAY BY YOUR RULES, YOU DIE BY YOUR RULES.
