Keep the bastard out!!   

The evidence is clear. The rules were clear. The requierements are clear. There is no reason why Rose should be enshrined. He blew and he can go to his grave knowing that.

Again I ask the question, how can we be so forgiving of sports stars?? Why are rules okay for some but not for others? Nice example this moron sets! Rose was a great ballplayer, he might have become a superb manager, but he had problems that he won't admit to - unless it will get him into the Hall of Fame.   Many of you have been making a federal case out of somebody buying their way into a Rockabilly Hall of Fame but yet it is not a problem to let a cheat and a liar and somebody who blatantly broke the rules into a more prestigious Hall. Why tarnish the sport even more?   Why not let every slimebag who wore a uniform in. How about Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden? Can we excuse their drug abuse and say that they belong?   

He probably will get in, only because the suits that run this game have no guts anymore.
