Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame



Period. End of story. It would be a mistake of epic proportions for baseball to make a posthumous lifting of the ban, so the clock is ticking. Get it right, baseball. Or appear small and petty. Your choice.

Rozner: New MLB boss can start by reinstating Rose - DailyHerald.com:
Pete Rose

The first thing Manfred should do is lift the lifetime ban on Rose so the current version of the Veterans Committee in charge of his era can vote him into the Hall of Fame.

What Rose did as a manager was wrong, but there's no evidence to suggest he bet on the game while playing. He's the all-time hits king. Vote him in immediately.

If Manfred doesn't want Rose working in the game, it's hard to argue with that, but he might also explain then why it's OK for Mark McGwire and Manny Ramirez.
