We see with Rose that your on-the-field credentials aren't the only thing that matters. There is almost literally nobody on ARod's side right now. I'm struggling to find a way for him to get in. Maybe he goes on some sort of "I'm so incredibly sorry" tour for years and years to the point where people like him again.
The ship has sailed on anyone caring about A-Rod apologizing. The first time he got caught he said he did PEDs to help justify his Texas contract, how he wouldn't do it again, blah blah blah. Then he got caught in the biogenesis mess.
After his playing career, he could apologize for decades and I don't see it helping his case. McGwire apologized, he's still not in.
Random recollection. I remember a story a while back about A-Rod hooking up with Madonna and bragging to his teammates about it. And his teammates were like, "Eh, that would have been cool like 15 years ago."
