Pete Rose hasn't been able to go to the Hall of Fame for 24 years. I believe that he still shouldn't be able to be in the Hall of Fame. There is proof that he bet on games (Reds games and others) while he was managing. Now there is proof that he did it as a player too.
One of the rules of baseball states that if any person dealing with the team bets on their team, they will be declared permanently ineligible to go to the Hall of Fame. That rule is in every clubhouse in the MLB. He also bet on non baseball games.
He wasn't able to go to the Hall of Fame earlier before the MLB knew about betting when he was playing, so why would they let him go now when they realized that he also bet as a player too? They shouldn't, exactly!
I know that some people will disagree with me when I say that he shouldn't go to the Hall of Fame and they might be right. But I will still think that he shouldn't go to the Hall of Fame because of his betting problem and even betting on his own team.
