Pete Rose was a disgusting human being. He had a relationship with an underaged girl when he was 34. If he doesn't make the HOF, I'm totally fine with that.

Rose belongs in the HOF.

If you let Rose in, you have to make a strong case for everyone else getting in. Rose's gambling incident, inappropriate relationship with an underage girl, tax evasion and it's suggested that he used altered/corked bats.

“There is strong evidence that MLB either changed the baseballs or introduced a new batch of baseballs (while still cycling out the old) in late May / early June

Almost every contact-quality-controlled Statcast metric has seen an outlier uptick in recent weeks

Barrel distance increased by +10.2 ft from April 2026 to present, the biggest in-season April to June jump of the Statcast era (avg is +4.6 ft as weather improves)

The additional ~6 ft this June aligns with the ~0.016 point drop in the drag data

Compiling additional findings ??????”

there’s charts at the link as well
