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.

Ty Cobb supposedly assaulted a disabled person. Do you remove him? There were many other true racists also.....do they get removed? Im not defending Rose but saying there is a lot of flaws in many of the heroes.

Many experts don’t believe a lot of the ALLEGATIONS about Cobb. Rose stuff is fact. Big difference.

When it comes to hall of fame its all about what happened between the lines. Before Bonds started juicing he still had a war above 100. He belongs.


Rose, Bonds, Clemens are all sure fire HOFers.

Harold Baines... not so much.

It is a debate over values and cheating and extreme disrespect for the game. It is like a civil war. I’m very glad most people are against the HOF for people that have caused irreparable harm to the game. Bonds knows what he did and doesn’t even squawk.

HOF for Rose and Bonds is supported by people who believe in I don’t know what. But it is the country we live in.

The Hall of Fame ballot specifies that integrity, sportsmanship, and character are among the criteria to be evaluated for eligibility to the Hall. To ignore those standards would turn it into a farce.
