Happy Birthday Charlie Hustle AKA Pete Rose. Pete turns 67 today and still waiting for the ultimate gift. Do you think he'll ever get it ? Do you think he should ?

It's been an endless debate, and it probably will never be resolved.
In theory, he definitely deserves to be in. But he signed away that right, so... that's that.

If you believe what he says in his book then Baseball broke that signed agreement by coming out and saying that Rose bet on baseball, something which he now freely admits to. Regardless, he should be in.
