Read The Fix Is In, by Daniel Ginsburg.
After reading that, I doubt that you think Joe should get in; and I'd be surprised if you think Pete should get in.
Ginsburg's book isn't shooting from the hip with emotion and feeling, it's a scholarly work that I found to be well researched.
I saw Pete play several times, saw the Cobb passing hit against the Padres while I was in law school, and had heard of Judge Norbert Nadel a few years before he acquired and then ruled on the Rose case. Rose would be among the most focused, tenacious, and capable of competitors ever to lace up spikes for a ball game. But he doesn't belong in the Hall.
