Finally

But it's kinda more lax in football, you can have a guy charged with murder who wins the superbowl MVP in the same year. You can have a team full of crack heads be called america's team. Hearing a football player bet on games is refreshing.

I agree with sleeper on his points. It would be a no brainer if it wasn't for the 4,256 hits, that's really what's kept his whole soap opera alive. If he was almost any other hall of fame candidate, if he had 3,000 hits, 500 homers, +.300 life time BA and had amazing numbers all his career but commited an act as irreberable as this then I would say, yes keep him out. But in the end he is the all time hit king in a game that lives off hitting. I honestly at this point do not think rose will be voted in, in his lifetime. I do think Selig will lift the ban because selig is looking for a defining moment in his career.

Rose will eventually be voted in but not for many years to come, time usually distorts peoples opinions and memories. New generations will not trully understand the negative impacts as much, just like hedcold validates the sox throwing the series. I ain't bustin on hedcold but his opinion will be many others opinion on rose, years from now. Rose will either be voted in when he is on his death bed or after his death.
