He bet, he lied, he accepted his punishment.
He showed no remorse continuing to lie for decades. He made his bed, he has no one to blame but himself. Not the Commissioner, not the voters, not anyone but Pete. Keep him out - forever IMO.

They haven't let Jackson in, and it's been almost 100 years. I don't believe Rose will get in any sooner than that, and if I were to bet it would be on him never getting in.

One of my favorite players as a kid. Even had one of those big Sports Illustrated posters of him hanging in my room for years. My first year collecting baseball cards was 1982 and I remember being thrilled by all the Rose cards in the Topps set that year (I believe he had 5 total).
I was all for lifting the suspension until I saw several reports that stated that he is still betting on baseball and initially lied to Manfred about it. If that's the case then I say Kudos to Manfred. So he said "I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball." but he won't quit betting on the sport to help him get the reinstatement he claims he wants so bad. It's shame he isn't in the Hall but I really feel he has nobody to blame but himself at this point. Last edited by cardsfan73; 12-15-2015 at 02:22 AM.

Who cares if he is betting on baseball today? Does somebody have to be a good guy or have no vices to make the HOF? Millions of people bet on baseball. He has already served a sentence far disproportionate to his relevant offense. Is he a jerk? Sure, but so what? Too much sanctimony for me.

I am all for Rose being banned forever. The punishment does fit the crime.
