Pete Rose is arrogant, a hardhead, and was stupid for not admitting his sins at the beginning and thereby getting Batholomew off his back.

But the guy had more hits than anybody who ever played the game, was the epitomy of a guy who did not have that much speed, talent, and such, but by sheer hustle and hard work, holds records that probably will never be broken.

The hall of fame is not for pure churchgoes, it is supposed to be for the top people who ever played pro baseball.

It is not a Hall of Fame without Rose in it. For that matter, Jack deserves to be there, as well. Until they get there, it is just a hall of fame.
