They forgot Pete Rose...

You got that right!

The Baseball HOF is a joke as long as the all time hits leader Pete Rose isn't a member. I, for one, will boycott that establishment until that changes. And I'm not alone...

Absolutely not! Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame! Period!

I had the pleasure of watching him, a lot, when I worked in the Philly area. A more dedicated, hard nosed and hustling player didn't exist then, before and definitely, not now! The prima donna's out there now couldn't hold a candle to Pete Rose!

The Hall of Fame doesn't actually make the decision about keeping Pete Rose out. His banishment from baseball makes him ineligible under the Hall's eligibility requirements.

It's Major League Baseball, not the Hall of Fame, that is really driving this.

Pete Rose's accomplishments as the all-time hits leader and member of one of the greatest teams ever are in their rightful place at the HOF.

Pete Rose himself is in his rightful place on the outside looking in. He broke THE rule. Repeatedly. And without remorse, or even an inkling that what he did was wrong. Pete Rose is the only person to blame for Pete Rose not being in the Hall of Fame.

Then again Pete Rose broke the major rule of baseball by gambling in baseball.

Pete Rose the player, as a player, is one of the all time greats.

Pete Rose the man, gambled on baseball when in a position to affect the outcomes of games. How to reconcile that is the heart of the issue with Pete Rose.

Pete Rose. The best! No one has more hits...NO ONE!!

WHY is he not enshrined in the hall? Because AFTER he was no longer a player, he was caught gambling

MLB and the HOF need to hang their heads in shame
