Paid his debt...let the man in.

Are you s serious?

If some wants Bonds in. Then the alltime hits leader needs in.

 

[Burhead]

Absolutely let him back in.

 

[GAVol]

Put him in the HOF if you want, but keep him away from the game. Betting on games that you're managing is about as bad as it gets.

Keep him out. Take the ASTROS championship away and suspend every player for 1 year.

Don’t put him in the hall

No worse than what Houston did. And the penalties aren't even comparable.

All time hit leader.

Can't argue for doped up *alltime homerun in Bonds.

I'm a Reds fan and would support this..he didn't cheat to get the hits but you also can't bet on games you participate in

Unlike steroids, where baseball said it was illegal but had no punishment nor ever pushed for drug testing till congress came after them in 2005, Baseball has explicitly stated since the early 1920’s if you bet on baseball your banned for life. And there is evidence he betted against his teams

Also, Pete Rose is a terrible human being that didn’t apologize until it was time to sell his book. If Pete had been contrite from the get go, then maybe his dumb ass would have been forgiven.

He also lied when he tried to reapply last time.

Yes that’s also true.

 

[volsarelife1]

Seem to remember a lot of the steroid guys lying (who some want in the hall).

 

[GAVol]

Ever notice how often the argument for Rose is that somebody else may be as bad as he is?

Pete is almost 80 now it’s time to let bygones be bygones and let him in

Shoeless Joe Jackson is 132. MLB tends to be unforgiving.

Maybe he should have thought of that before gambling on his team and accepting a lifetime ban.

Which of them lied for 15 years about what they did and then came clean to sell their book?

Yeah... It's not like he's been doing humanitarian work to try and rehab his image. Dude has been doing card shows for the last 30 years.

HOF should include baseball's best players, the ones that defined eras, which certainly applies to both Rose and Bonds. MLB is a terrible organization generally, I don't care how upset they are about broken rules that didn't really harm anyone and that no one actually cares about

Pete Rose should never be allowed in the HOF
