Let him in. All his betting records showed he bet on himself to win everytime. Even crack addicts get several chances.

No one can take away what he accomplished on the field. While baseball looked away at the use of steriods, they want to continue to punish one of the game’s greatest.

Betting on your team to win is not necessarily good. You may go all out to win a game, say overwork your closer, and it could cost you games down the road. Also what about games where Rose didn't bet? Was that a signal that he was going to throw the game?

Gotta laugh at then incandescent idiocy of MLB in denying Rose the recognition he deserves.

In then record books at this time are names like Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds, both of whom were juiced up on massive amounts of steroids and HGH. Rose Was banned for betting on the games, but was never accused of nor I believe would he bet against his own team. He was simply to much the competitor to ever do that.

This guy belongs in the Hall of Fame like YESTERDAY and he ought to also get an apology in the light of the double standard which has been applied to him.
