I think he would be in the hall ifBart Giamatti didn't die. some of the truth would of came out. he would of did his time and be in the hall. but Fay Vincent had issuses with Rose and he would never let him in. if he leveled with Selig from the start thing might of been different, but I think after all the years passed he doesn't feel he would ever get in so he admitted to it, just like everybody wanted him to do.
does he belong in ths hall. YES.
let the fans speek, he not the only gambler in sports. let his record speeks for it self.

He deserves to be there. I grew up in Cincy during the Big Red Machine and saw him play many times. Hell, Babe Ruth was a drunk and he's in there. It should be their ability, not their personal life that gets them in.

There are countless racists, bigots, drunks,and cheaters who managed to make it into the HOF.......so why cant Rose? Look, he admitted to gambling on games as a coach...but never as a player. His HOF credentials are based on his PLAYING days, not his COACHING days...
I definitely say put the man in the HOF.....as his career is better then dozens of players in the HOF....
Hell, if you really want to be evil about, make sure to put an asterik in his Bio about him gambling on games...

Another vote for letting him in...........Way too much hypocrisy in the HOF selection process........in addition to what's stated above........How many illegal drug users are currently in the HOF ? My guess is lots.

I say yes, but everytime they mention something about him going into the HOF as a player, they also keep bringing up the tard bat incident. They always show the highlights of it when mentioned, Hey, do you think Rose should be abducted into the Hall of Fame...... Then here comes the highlights of the bat thing again.

Are you thinking of the George Brett, Pine Tar Incident?
Yes he should be in....he didnt do steroids for gods sake...and is the best hitter in the history of the game....todays players could learn something from the way he played the game...Ran on, and off the field, gave 100% and layed it out every game.
Charlie Hustle deserves to be in. I loved watching the guy play. He gave it his all on the field. So he made a few bets, others have done worse (steroids).
Pete Rose; HOF... Y or N??
