[QUOTE="pickup, post: 515570"] First of all I am a fan of Rose, liked his style , his feistyness. Charlie Hustle , indeed. That much being said, I don't think he belongs in the hall of fame. His player stats obviously merit his induction, but you know the gambling issues. My big issue with him , is that he has publicly stated that he would like to manage again in the big leagues because he needs the money. Therefore, over the years, he confesses a little more every 4 or 5 years and shows some remorse in the hopes that he will get reinstated so he can manage. I don't think he cares about the hall of fame. If he got on a talk show today and let it ALL hang out and showed true remorse then I say let him in for his stats as a player , but still prevent him from ever being hired as a manager or a coach because once a gambler , always a gambler. As for Barry Bonds and McGuire, their stats are a result of steroids(yeah, allegedly , I know ). Sad thing about Bonds is that he probably would have gotten into hall of fame with stats based on and projected from the years one can assume he wasn't on steroids. But No, never for Mcguire, Sosa, and Bonds in my opinion. For Rose, yes , but only if a total confession and true remorse, not the drip drop of confessions and superficial remorse we have gotten from him over the years in a calculated attempt to become a manager again( and the very fact that he thinks managing is a viable option for him shows that he is still living in a dream world) [/QUOTE]
