(Taking cue from Mike Greenberg) So, should Pete Rose be elected into the HOF?[/QUOTE]
Maybe, but he neeeds to stay in purgatory for a few more years. I do think it is unfair that people like Steinbrenner get to come back to the game after doing things that are absolutely deplorable, while Pete has to sit out though.
Then again a used car salesman is the person running MLB, so it is not like anyone should put any faith in Selig ever doing the right thing.
As far as Barry goes, even without steroids he would have been in the HOF, and unlike Pete he will never be caught. Just look at the case the government has three years down the road. They have no one who can definitively pin steroids on him, and have resulted to trying to squeeze people like Greg Anderson since they have no case. Drug dealers will have spent less time in jail than Anderson after the Fed's put him through the ringer and they still won't have anything. Also I love how we have a whole investigation into steroids and we only focus on one person, when there have been many who have used and will never be investigated.
