The White Sox throwing the world series, while they had valid reasons, is still inexcusable and they all deserved to be banned. There have been many terrible penny-pinching owners in baseball but the integrity of the game is the most important thing.
I wouldn't let Rose into the hall because he corrupted the game by betting on his team or other teams. Like Gonzo said, it actually effects how the game is played and without everyone playing on the level, there is no baseball. To the MLB, it's more allowable to rape and murder than bet or fix games. Rose being pardoned would just make the MLB spineless and give in to someone just because he has fan support rather than do the right thing.
