He deserve to be in the HOF. I would have told him you'll be in the HOF the day after you die.Meh. Helluva talented baseball player. IMO, he got fucked over the gambling. Did he deserve to get kicked out of the game? Yes. Did he deserve to be banned from the HOF? NO.

Days before the Phillies canceled Pete Rose Weekend, court documents were released showing that a woman had accused Pete Rose of having sex with her when he was in his mid-30s and she was not yet 16. But that’s not the most alarming part. The most alarming part is that when Pete Rose was asked about it, he said he was pretty sure she was 16, not under 16. (The age of 16 was, conveniently, the “age of consent” in the state where the girl lived.) So, yes, “one of the greatest baseball players of all time” admitted to having sex with a child. Oh, and he was married with two children at the time. But, hey, details.
The allegation came up in a defamation case Pete Rose filed against John Dowd, the former Major League Baseball special counsel in charge of the investigation into Rose’s gambling. The lawsuit centered on remarks Dowd made on a Philly-area radio show in 2015. While on the air, Dowd said that Pete Rose pal Michael Bertolini “told us that not only did he run bets, but he ran young girls for [Pete Rose] down in spring training, ages 12 to 14 … Isn’t that lovely? So that’s statutory rape every time you do that.”
The Baseball Hall of Fame is filled with pieces of shit human beings but amazing ballplayers that deserve to be considered among the greatest of the generations. Ty Cobb was one of the vilest people but earned his spot in the Hall. Pete Rose the ballplayer deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose the baseball manager was a gambling addict and deserved to be barred from baseball. Pete Rose the man should have been in prison.Maybe I'm in a mood, but fuck him. He was a shit human and I hope he's burning in hell for the scummy piece of shit he was. Sucks for him that society wasn't accepting of one particular aspect, but now is. I'd almost relish him having to watch as gambling goes crypto and AI level mainstream, probably even moreso, whilst it robbed him of his baseball legacy.

AKA, yet another gross white dude raping teenagers, possibly also sex trafficking minors. But oh noes, he got banned from the Baseball Hall of Fame cause he gambled, that's so horrible, won't someone think of poor Petey Rose's legacy? Its an atrocity that he's not in the Hall of Fame!
So well put! ⚾Pete Rose the ballplayer deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose the baseball manager was a gambling addict and deserved to be barred from baseball. Pete Rose the man should have been in prison.
This is how I can tell you that Roger Clemons and Barry Bonds deserve to be in the Hall.I never really thought of it that way. Thanks.
