Pete Rose goes down swinging.

Even then, I doubt he'll get in.

Like I asked about Joe Jackson, who's lifetime are we talking about? Jackson's been dead a while now and Ted Williams argued that point to get Jackson into the Hall. The Hall rejected it, but never defined what a "lifetime" is.

In New York State a life time prison sentence only means forty years and that's the criminal justice system. Should we, as fans, be pushing for a clear definition of what a "lifetime ban" really means?

I guess in baseballs eyes it's for eternity. Manfred denied an appeal to allow jackson in back in Sept of this year.


I find it odd that he was cleared in a court of law, but still banned anyway.

Then again Willie Mays and Mickey Mantel were banned from baseball in 83 - 85. For activities even though they were both retired and out of baseball .
