Pete Rose, 20 years later...HOF or not?

I voted No. What was the commission trying to accomplish by banning Mr. Rose? I believe they wanted to send a message to others.
Mr. Rose knew what he was doing and the possible consequences. One of the fun things professional athletes give up is gambling.

Lifting the ban and allowing him into the HOF would send a message to others (coming up) that as long as you are a great player you will eventually get away with it.

I think he was a great player and would have deserved the honor of HOF.....if he hadn't have done what he knew was against the rules.

The ban against Mr. Rose should not be lifted.....Ok Flame on!
