| Pete Rose died. Now unban him and let him in to the HOF you petty, greedy MLB execs and haughty, useless BBWAA that never lifted a bat even in little league. I mean aren't you even embarrassed, in recent years, with Helton, Mauer, Rolen, Simmons...... and Selig??? |

| I didn’t know he was 83. Sneaky old. |

I have a soft spot for Pete Rose. I grew up in Ohio and we used to get to softball practice early to practice sliding like him. I met him at a corporate function a decade ago or so and found him to be kind and humbled. People used to talk about him being charismatic or arrogant or somewhere in between, but I noticed his warmth and his really strong ability to connect with others.
Everyone is flawed but he had the bad luck to have his flaws exposed in a time when it was far easier for celebrities and athletes to hide their mistakes and crimes. I think he would have received more flak but eventually more grace in the era of social media. |

That's true for most of us. |

| They should have one wing of the HOF with a big asterisk over the door and put Bonds, Rose, McGwire, all those guys in there if they get voted in. |
