Charley Hustle. Yes, brought the criticism upon himself and didn't help his case with post baseball behavior.
Possibly the most controversial player of the modern era. Surprised I'm the first to post this.

So, in the Hall or not?

As a player, yes. He's the all-time hits leader in MLB. His career is deserving. Some of his memorabilia is already there.

Just my opinion, but MLB has relationships with sportsbooks and online gambling now. It's almost hypocritical to keep Rose out because of his gambling.

There already is talk of him being inducted. It was a LIFE-time ban. Not a forever ban. His life is over. He's going in.

I agree and after I heard the news I thought he would be inducted ...

I have him as my favourite player 1950-2000
