Should a man who has over 4256 hits be kept from the Hall of Fame because he bet on a

does that make any sense? Pete Rose deserves to be in the baseball hall of fame because

game. I think that's the way Pete played. With Roses hell bent, love of the game style he
had a positive impact on players throughout the 24 years
