I am not saying gambling on on your sport is ok, but if players do things against the law, and get into the HOF how can you not put someone such as Rose in the hall. How many times did Strawberry get busted for drugs? Bet he get in the hall based on his numbers.

My point is that Pro sports takes a harder line on gambling than anything else...I agree..druggies and cheaters not welcome either!

I agree fully. That's why I watch mostly college and amateur sports. Just remember, pro sports is creating millionaires who someday will run this country. Are you scared now?

I think they should put Rose in the hall posthumously. He'll never get to enjoy the honor. Maybe that will convince others to follow the rules!

Much/most of Rose's gambling happened when he was managing the Reds, NOT after he was retired. He was STILL on the field, just not as a player. A manager who gambles on sports in worse than a player because they can affect the way a game turns out more than anyone other than the officials.

Also Rose has never shown true remorse and only came clean in stages and even then it was always when it was to his benefit. Like when he'd come out with a new book.

I'd rather see Vick play again and Bonds make the hall, than Rose. There is no proof that Bonds has used steroids since they were banned, and Vick, while what he did disgusts me, it was completely unrelated to football. I still, though, think Bond's records are tainted, and Vick should be out of football for good. But I think Rose's actions are such that he should never be allowed in the hall. That still takes nothing away from his records as a player, which in my opinion will be much harder to break than the HR record.
