By this point, you have made up your own mind, as so many of us have. You are from one of two camps. One is the "hasn't Pete suffered enough? The other is the "Pete got exactly what he deserved"
I occupy the former.

I say aye!
He’s no more crooked than the rest. Let him in.
How many games did he throw?
If we’re starting a tally, I’m on the “NFW” side.
No to Mark McGuire...no to Barry Bonds...no to Roger Clemons...and no to Pete Rose.
Exactly.Pete Rose is a miserable excuse for a human being.He just happened to be able to play baseball.
There was ONE law that every player knew. The integrity of the game depended on it. Case closed.
Fortunately, now the players have more money than any mobster, so the idea of players taking bribes is obsolete. But, not in Pete’s day.
No proof that Rose took any ‘Roids’. What he did with the betting was bad but done after his playing career. Yeh PR sucks but his MLB career didn’t— he’s HOF material.
And the Unabomber was one of the best mathematicians to ever live.But somehow he was unable to understand that it was wrong to apply the laws of physics in certain ways when dealing with certain people.
The day after he’s dead.
Pere Rose the player holds some all time records,and is among the top players in baseball history based on his 20+ year playing career.
Pete Rose the man broke baseball rules by gambling on baseball.
How to reconcile all of that. That is the question I always have.
Rose is like Bill Clinton-a black man in white skin. You fess up when the got the goods on you. Black men blame the system, not themselves.
The utter Hypocrisy of Baseball, so many of their owners have owned and gambled on Horses. How many Owners gamble on games? Especially teams that are group owned.
I live in Vegas, If Rose bet against his team maybe they have something there, but, I understand he only bet on his team. I see no conflict of interest.
We have a POTUS who is betting he can ruin our country and what are we doing about that important issue.
Not even then.He’s a failure as a man,no excusing that fact.
Here,we have Ty Cobb...and next to him is Hank Aaron....and next to *him* is Lou Gherig.And now we're making room for Pete Rose's exhibit right next to that of the Yankee Clipper.
*That* would be a joke.
If Pete Rose were ‘Black’? Just sayin’.

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