I think the baseball hall of fame is hurt more by the exclusion of Rose, than Rose is hurt by being excluded from it.

If Rose did the most vile of crimes, not baseball related, the punishment by MLB couldn't be worse and by that I mean junk related to children. MLB allowed Rose to be among the celebration of the game's greatest players, while he banned, a few years ago. He still needs permission to attend on-field events and the Reds can't honor him by putting him in the team's Hall of Fame. Put the guy in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Fans would overflow Cooperstown that weekend and the overwhelming majority would be supportive I believe.

I think he probably should go in, but no way is being exclusionary hurtful to any hall of fame. I think it’s the exact opposite in fact.

Which hall of fame matters more: Football, basketball, rock and roll, or baseball? I think baseball, because it’s the hardest to get in, and some of the others have mandatory inductions every year, which has to be the dumbest thing ever for a hall of fame.
