Rose is a tool, but I would put him in the HOF. I have personally watched him behave like a tool twice in person. Ironically, I almost inadvertently met him at the Cleveland National - he walked right past me while I was standing at the elevator and the guys at our drinking table saw it, but I didn't. I'm glad - he was unpleasant on those occasions in 1973 and 1985, and that was before it was proven publicly that he is a disgrace to baseball. If I had thought about it, I might have brought a photo for him to get signed, labeled 'Biggest SOB in baseball', just to see his reaction to it.
Here's Rose being an SOB in 1973 - he had just told a bunch of kids, including my little brother, that he would go put his stuff on the bus and then come out and sign our autographs. He went to the back of the bus and smiled out the window at us - he didn't come out.
