F this prick and the baseball commissioners before him. Pete Rose did not affect the outcome of one baseball game. He never once bet against his own team, which is the main purpose of the rule against gambling. Meanwhile, cheaters like Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, etc. have always been eligible for the HOF.

"Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," Manfred wrote in a letter to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov, who petitioned for Rose's removal from the list Jan. 8. "Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve.

Never mind that they still have to be voted in...
so, how do they now get elected to the HOF? via the Era Committee ?
or does the limit reset and the Sports Writers vote for 5 years?

Then what about the steroid guys who die ?
