At the risk of igniting the Pete Rose debate, we all.know why he’s not eligible for the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame does not consider players who have been banned from baseball.

That may be so, but the lack of Pete Rose in it makes the HoF a farce. He is the #1 player ever in four major statistical categories (hits, AB, singles, games played).
His exclusion shames the Hall to such a degree that no baseball fan should take the HoF seriously.
