if all the roid users make it into the HOF there is no reason PR should not, as what they did was far worse for the game

Commissioner Rob Manfred has turned down Rose's latest application for reinstatement, therefore Rose remains banned. As it should be.
Manfred cited Rose's continued gambling on baseball and evidence he bet on games while playing for the Reds, and also noted Rose has not been completely honest about his gambling on baseball.
Go away, Pete. You have your records, your career stats are intact, and that will have to be enough. Take the hint - if you have any chance of reinstatement and election to the Hall, it won't come until after you're dead and can't make money from it.
That's petty and irrelevant. And honesty? LOL People often get out of prison for murder after serving less time than Rose's ban and don't get prequalified for release because they were 'honest' about what they did. There's no evidence Rose compromised the game, while there will likely be steroid users getting in the HOF much sooner than Rose, which will be a real tragedy. The holdout at this time is just a bunch of political holier-than-thou mud slinging, than a real consideration of the facts.
