Default Re: Pete Rose, 20 years later...HOF or not?

While betting in sports is against the rules, look at the facts.

1. He did it when he was a Manager and not a player. Ban the Manager Pete, but not the player Pete
2. He always bet that his team would win.

As a side note, if the ban is lifted, the ban on Shoeless Joe needs to be lifted as well.
