Pete Rose is in every thinking fans hall of fame.
Perhaps he should never be able to work in the MLB for what he did.
But his performance as a player was in the top ten of all time. He did not disgrace himself as a player.
Therefore he more that deserves to be in the HOF You can ban him from any future monetary connection with MLB but the HOF ‘IS’ Pete Rose.
Cool story ... I was living in the Cincy area the year he broke the record. As the season went on, it was like a betting on a lottery of buying tickets for the game he would get it. I missed by one day, and saw hit 4,193.

Hey, OJ’s in the Hall of Fame, right?
For the record I cannot agree that Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Unlike murder, criminal vs. baseball, the gambling rule IS all about MLB. Rose knew the rule and the consequences.
