I never said he bet on them as a player. And I already made the argument that his stats were earned cleanly. What are you talking about? I’m a Buckeye and a Pete rose fan. He should be in the Hall, period.
It has been quite a while since I have visited the Hall of Fame but when I did they had a display showing the top leaders in significant career statistics. Unless they have removed this display Pete Rose would of course be at the top of career hits and thus is in the Hall of Fame. Oh you want a plaque and formal induction ceremony for him too? Shoeless Joe Jackson is in line in front of him for that and still waiting.
