Yes Pete Rose should be banned from ever entering the Hall of Fame. But Ty Cobb-violent racist gambler should be enshrined for all time along with wife-beater Bobby Cox and Black Sox team owner Charles Comiskey.
And let's not forget admitted cheater Whitey Ford and baseball segregation enabler Cap Anson.
And perhaps the greatest of all, Bud Selig, everyone's favorite commissioner who was somewhat responsible for the 94 strike and enabled if not outright encouraged PEDs in the 90s to make up for it.
I would say we should start our own hall of fame with blackjack and hookers but I think this one probably already has plenty.
