And for those who want to compare him to drunks rapists etc...
I don't think people who commit crimes should be allowed in a place that is to honor some of the greatest whoever played...being a drunk or getting popped for cheating is completely different.
Sure we can go back and find a lot of bad about people...but you have to consider this...
What Pete Rose did was not just something that could affect him cheating using a corked bat..but others as well.
He not only bet on baseball but he bet on his team while he managed. Who knows if he threw games in order to win the bet. All it takes is making a few lineup changes, a pitcher change or even telling the infield to play deeper when everyone knows they should play close.
And for those who don't know..he has admitted to betting on baseball.
