“That’s MLB’s problem. They say gambling is their biggest no no but they’ve climbed in bed with gamblers. EVERY MLB team has an official on line fantasy baseball gambling partner.”

Absolutely irrelevant and that has NOTHING to do with the Pete Rose situation.
Rose’s repeated decisions to bet on baseball and getting in deep with his bookie put him in a position to throw games to pay his debts, and thus ruin the integrity of the game.
Under no circumstances, NONE, should Pete Rose be allowed in the Hall of Fame, FOREVER.
There isn’t even a credible argument to the contrary.

Rose gambled on baseball, MLB is now in the business of baseball gambling; absolutely irrelevant and has NOTHING to do with each other? That makes as much sense as 0 claiming Islamic terrorist has nothing to do with Islam.
I've never said that Rose should be in the hall. What I have done is point out the hypocrisy and self righteous chest thumping by MLB (and some fans)who won't apply the same standard to several guys in the hall as they are to Rose. There are guys in the Hall right now who not only bet on baseball but evidence indicates they threw games. The Coke addicts of the 80’s put themselves in the same position to be blackmailed into throwing games. The PED users hurt the game's credibility and ran off fans.
Rose has earned the outrage and the ban, but we're talking about not letting him into a club that has more than its share of bad actors, not the sainthood.
