Love the fact that Darryl Strawberry's name is always mentioned whenever Pete Rose is discussed. Last time I checked, Strawberry has no chance of ever being selected because he simply did not play enough games to accumulate worthy statistics. Furthermore, he had a drug problem and did not gamble on baseball. Contrast this to Rose who thinks he is above the game by breaking the #1 rule and lying about for 14 years. Now, he further angers baseball people by releasing a book when the center of attention should be drawn to the new inductees. This same guy now claims to be remorseful, yet he is lifestyle has not changed as he is still addicted to gambling. I see no way he would even receive enough votes if he were eligible. Do you honestly believe if he were reinstated next year that he would stop betting on baseball? I don't. Say what you want about drugs, but to baseball owners, the integrity of the game is everything. Without it, they might as well close up shop.
