Has anybody else heard about this? I never thought this sentence would ever escape my lips, but I have to agree with Hank Aaron. Pete Rose has no place in baseball.
I think the reason he's confessed to betting is because he just wrote a book and it's good PR. If they let Rose into the Hall of Fame, they have to deal with the fact that Shoeless Joe Jackson, who was accused (along with the rest of his teammates) of throwing the 1919 World Series, and has since been found innocent (UNLIKE the rest of his teammates), was never inducted even though he deserved to be.
So, to sum up, this is crap. Pete Rose has no place in baseball.
