I don't like Pete Rose. Didn't like him as a player. Don't like him now. He is nicer to fans now since he sells his autograph to make a living but he is still a jerk IMHO. At the time he was banned from baseball, Rose was only 48 years old. He could have managed or coached for another 20 years or so. He will be 74 next month so it is fair to say that he will never have an active field job again even if he were reinstated tomorrow. He has lost a lot and has only himself to blame. If I thought he was truly remorseful, it wouldn't bother me to see Rose have a Hall of Fame plaque although I doubt I would be interested in his induction speech. On the other hand, Rose did serve time for tax evasion. Are there any other convicted felons in the HoF? Other than Orlando Cepeda?
