Well, the lifetime ban is now over. So, put'em in the HOF.

Got no restrictions to fall back on.

JMHO

I couldn't believe this would be true. But sure enough, not a mention or a banner for breaking news or anything. Shameful.

I got notifications on my phone from ESPN, WSJ, and NYT. It's the headline story on ESPN right now.

Nobody played the game harder than Rose. Other played as hard but that's an elite group that put it out there all the time.

Maybe they'll open what Pete probably considered his "pearly gates" and finally enshrine the hit master. No reason to keep him out now.

I can remember getting autographs from him in the 70s. He was a good signer. It was always fun to see the Big Red Machine in town, except having to watch your team lose.

RIP Pete

There's a link under Latest News on mlb.com to a story about Rose.

God bless Pete. I met him once with my daughter and he couldn't have been nicer.

One of my favourite ball players. RIP.

I am sad about his passing. He is among a mere handful of the greatest ever to play. I love his cards, my memories of him, and I couldn't care any less that he gambled on baseball. As far as I am concerned, he is and has been in the Hall of Fame.
