Rose 100% HOFer 👍🏻⚾️

Very similar to what Bowie Kuhn did to Willie (1979) and Mickey (1983) in regards to their involvement with the casinos in Vegas. Willie even had to resign his position with the Mets. At the time however, the HOF didn't have a rule about inductees being on the ineligible list, so they didn't take any action. Would have been interesting if they did have the rule in place.
Peter Ueberroth later revoked their suspensions in 1984, soon after taking on the commissioner position.
