“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.”
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.
The rule is Bull Crap especially since he wasn’t accused of gambling while he played.....he earned his HOF during his playing career.
Mickey Mantle was banned from baseball during a period that he was a greeter at Atlantic city. George Steinbrenner had dealings with gamblers and was banned for a few years.
Rose’s accomplishments had nothing to do with gambling.....ban him from the Hall as a manager....but not as a players
