So your saying that Quality of Character should be a determining factor in Hall Of Fame selection.
Because we would never induct people who were short on "Nice Guy" appeal
you'd never see players Like Ty Cobb in there, who was a Violent, Mean Spirited Drunk.
I personally think that the Hall of Fame should be judged by your performance on the field ........and thats it.
I'm not saying Rose is a saint.....but there are plenty of other hall of famers that weren't exactly Boy Scouts.
When Rose played, He played just the way we want all of our kids to play, Hard and w/ hustle. He owns a solid dozen Major and National League Records. I think we should lighten up and let the guy in.....He earned it.
Besides I'm stuck at work on a saturday and I need some heated discussion to liven things up.
