Pete Rose turns 74 today...Rose has been left out of the baseball hall of fame for a long time now....Rose leads the MLB in hits with 4,256 hits all-time...Not only that but Rose has 3 world series rings, 3 batting titles & 1 MVP award.
With how the game has changed and the steriod era still looming over the head of the MLB, i think it's time they gave the the opportunity he deserves..How many guys have 44 game hit steaks, 4,000+ hits...At one time Rose was the highest paid player in the league and was the face of baseball back in the early 80's.
I myself remember collecting Rose cards and trying to play the game as he did.
I think Rose has served his punishment and the generations of ball players after Rose understand that betting on baseball is a big no-no...Although, how many guys actually hold the numbers that Rose has to even make a claim to make it into the HOF.
With wagering on sports now in the year 2015, do you think Rose should be let in the HOF ?
