RE: Should Pete Rose Be Eligible For The MLB Hall Of Fame?

I think the big problem is betting on a game in which they can decide the outcome. Because if they are allowed to bet... they are also allowed to bet on themselves to lose. I can't think of anything more problematic than that. As far as your Alex Rodriguez argument, you are preaching to the choir. But I go the opposite way. I don't think he, Bonds, Giambi, Palmiero, etc. should be eligible at all. They already stole glory from players like Frank Thomas who was adamantly against steroids and actually tried to start a coups to force for the testing of steroids. I'd argue they also stole money from non-cheaters by signing huge contracts while there was less for honest players.

What about McGwire? You can't tell me he didn't juice. I have his old card from when he was on the As I think it was and he was so tiny! Hard to believe he could have hung with Sosa. I prefer they keep the sport clean, but I think we all know that isn't happening.

Oh yeah, they were included in my etc. Sosa's head grew about 8 sizes too. I hated that silly homerun chase when it happened. The steroid era is 100% Bud Selig's fault for pimping that chase so much when everyone knew they were both juicing.

Haha, good times. 😃 I just remember how it was such a big deal. So crazy to look back on now. I really wish we still got the Tigers games, but YouTube TV dropped Fox Sports Detroit. I remember the one year I played fantasy baseball, it was like a full time job!
