I would just like to point out the Orioles are only 15 games out of the Wild Card!  :)

:yeahright: I say no. It should be a lifetime ban. Once he passes away, then you can lift the ban and let him get in the hall. Same for Shoeless Joe Jackson, he's dead, what's the point of keeping him out of the hall?

QuoteMLB commissioner Bud Selig appears to be "seriously considering" reinstatement for Pete Rose nearly 20 years after the hit king was banned from baseball for gambling on the sport, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

Hank Aaron's support for Rose's Hall of Fame inclusion, which he mentioned at this weekend's ceremonies in Cooperstown, N.Y., is a strong indication of Selig's possible action, the Daily News reported.

"I would like to see Pete in," Aaron said. "He belongs there."

Lobbying for the move began five years ago but died when Selig became convinced Rose was not "reconfiguring" his life, the newspaper report said, part of the late commissioner Bart Giamatti's demands on Rose when he was ruled ineligible.

"I think a lot of the guys feel that it's been 20 years now for Pete, and would lean toward leniency and time served," an unnamed Hall of Famer said, according to the Daily News. "If he had admitted it in the first place and apologized way back then, he'd probably be in the Hall by now."

If Rose were to become eligible, it stands to reason he would have to be voted into the Hall of Fame by the 65 living members that make up the Veterans Committee.

Inclusion on the writers' ballot expires after 15 years, though Rose has never appeared on their ballot except by write-in. During his first year of eligibility, Rose received 41 write-in votes.

"I know there are still guys who feel strongly against him," said another Hall of Famer, according to the report. "And I don't know if that would change even if Selig clears him."

Shoeless Joe should never make it into the Hall.

I don't recall Rose's particulars, but if he ever bet against the Reds I'd say the same for him.

I have nothing against the Big Red Machine.  My disdain is reserved solely for that lying piece of shit Pete Rose.  It was bad enough that he bet on baseball, but worse that he has lied about it so many times over so many years.   :mad:

Big deal-- that was the first year of the Machine.  They won the greatest World Series of all time, against one of the most annoying franchises of all time :contract:

Yeah but it was Earl Weaver's only moment of glory so therefore I have to play it up for all its worth.
