i find it hard to believe that Pete Rose was the only player/manager besides the 1818 Black Sox to ever bet on baseball, he just happened to be a degenerate gambler who was bound to get caught.
that said, i think he deserves to be in the hall on pure baseball merit, he was one of the best to ever play the game but he can't be trusted to ever step foot on a major league field during a game again. let him coach minor league teams, come to old timers day, anything but allow him to be involved in a MLB game ever again.
