Yes, I mixed apples and oranges. There are some "not so nice" guys in the H.O.F. Even Babe Ruth did some wild things. Just threw Simpson in to prove a point. The N.F.L. would not throw out O.J., yet M.L.B. excludes Pete.

"yet M.L.B. excludes Pete." Just maybe there is still a little bit of honor within Major League Baseball. Pete Rose is being made an example of in the hopes that players and fans will remember that there are rules in baseball that mean something.

Rose knew the rules, yet he chose to break them. It's his own fault he's not in the hall.

Yeah, after I posted to you I thought it over, and you do have a good point!
