Pete will get in after he dies.
Funny that known cheaters Bonds and Sosa are still getting votes. I did notice that McGwire did not get any votes in 2017 but had plenty in 2016.
Interesting note: Fomrer Gator D. Eckstein got 2 votes in 2016, but fell off the list in 2017.

Number 14 in your programs, number 1 in our hearts.
Don't need no Cooperstown to tell me he was one of the best ever.

The hall of fames for most of the major sports are a joke. Pete Rose is one of the greatest players ever and it's not debatable.

The baseball pusists are laughable.

He is still likely to make the cocaine trafficker's HOF though.

By "pusists" do you mean...

"No way he gets in because of the betting - he ruined the integrity of the game!"

Or...

"Despite his shortcomings, he deserves to be in the hall"

I thought that's what you 'meat'...
You aren't drinking are you?
Might be me, since I am.

Lol. The truth is, my eyes are going hell.

"The Black Sox Scandal was a Major League Baseball match fixing incident in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of intentionally losing the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for money from gamblers (see Arnold Rothstein). The fallout from the scandal resulted in the appointment of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis as the first Commissioner of Baseball, granting him absolute control over the sport in order to restore its integrity. Despite acquittals in a public trial in 1921, Judge Landis permanently banned all eight men from professional baseball, which includes banishment from post-career honors such as consideration for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Despite requests for reinstatement in the decades that followed (particularly in the case of Shoeless Joe Jackson), the ban remains in force as of 2017."



The real reason Pete will never get in.
