Rose requests to be reinstated

If Rose gets in it opens a giant can of worms. There is a long line behind him of other stars who will ask for entry. Don't think it will happen.

My thought exactly. Given the evidence (or lack thereof) I would think Joe Jackson's family would have a pretty strong argument for his reinstatement if Rose were to get in. As much as I here the cry to let Pete in, I think it's a PR mine filed that MLB won't want to deal with.

If he gets in before Minnie Minoso does....well, to be honest, I don't know what I'd do...certainly if anyone deserves to be enshrined ONLY after they are dead, it's rose!

But Minnie had such a good heart, he probably wouldn't want me to think that...but, he was a better man than I could ever hope to be.

Minnie Minos Wasnt banned, and did get to be voted on for the hof. Not the same. He just didnt get the votes.

Steve- you missed my point: If the voters couldn't decide on Minnie while he lived (ala Ron Santo), then rose deserves no better.

He was a great player. He was, and is, also a thief and a lier. He knowingly made an effort to cheat the game, got caught, and now has to pay the penalty that all of the other cheats and liers who got caught have had to pay, some with far less evidence than that against Rose.

Once upon a time I was in favor of Rose for the HOF. Then midnight struck and I realized how silly that was, given the enormity of the crime that he knowingly committed. I am one of the guys who is in favor of a more expansive HOF, but I will NEVER be in favor of that POS Rose for induction.

I think they should at least be able to vote on him.
