Pete Rose goes down swinging.

Here's a great player that broke the rules. Banned for life. Is this right.. he broke the rules and no one person is greater than the whole sport.... ok that being said he should be in the hall of fame as the greatest player that he is and so should Shoeless Joe....
They may not ever be in a hall but they will be famous 100 years from now. We are still talking about them and movies will continue to be made, books and articles will be written for generations ... great is great and there's no taking away from that !!

His accomplishments are in the hall. There is just not a bust of him as a member. Heck my grandfather is in the hall of fame as a contributor. He donated two World Series ticket for the sixty four Phillies who blew a 6 1/2 game lead with 12 to go. Phillies were so sure they had it locked they were selling tickets. My grandfather kept a few of his and sent a pair to Cooperstown. I still have the one he gave me.
