Looks to be true. Sad. Sad that he never received that call back and elected to HOF as he should have been. Now it’ll be done posthumously which is a giant slap to the face of his family

For sure. They’ll let him in now.

I’m at my weekly wing place for MNF and I glance up and there’s a collection of Pete Rose highlights on what appears to be on MLB. It’s true. I liked Pete Rose. Don’t care what anyone says…that guy was. hall of famer. RIP Pete.

He is still banned from Baseball until that is lifted he is ineligible for the hall of fame. Doesn’t matter that he has passed. Someone still has to remove that punishment.

Put Pete and Shoeless Joe on the ballot and let the HOF voters decide. Draft Kings can sponsor the induction ceremony.

Rose was a great player. The ray fossy collision was another blemish besides his gambling

My friends and I went his restaurant in Boca quite a bit. He would be in there quite often. Very down to earth guy and recognized the regulars. Seemed to enjoy being in there.

Pete played the game with such youthful exuberance. He was a treat to watch.

An All-Star at 4 different positions. Not easy to do.

RIP

Absolute legend

He was a childhood hero of mine. He had a gambling problem long before he was caught betting on baseball. Somehow, he should be forgiven and inducted as a player. Truly one of the greats. Me and @planored were talking about Johnny Bench and Rose yesterday. Small world. RIP Pete

MLB Hall of Fame is a damn joke.

 

[mwulf]

It's a museum and Bonds, McGwire, Clemens Rose should all be in

None of the dopers are getting in.

Hall of fame isn’t a joke

Voters are

Him, John Ashton, Kristofferson and Mutumbo in 24 hours

Goes in 3s

Goes in 3s

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I believe that's four listed.

For those that might argue "rule breakers" don't belong in the HOF, then why is Gaylord Perry in? Are in-game cheaters exempt from exclusion?

There are already a shit ton of dopers in....
