A Rose in Cooperstown?
Pete's going back to Cooperstown. Unfortunately, not with an invitation quite yet, although that may be coming soon...
Looks like Bud Selig and the Powers-That-Be are almost ready to give up the fight and let baseball's all-time Hits leader join his peers in the hallowed halls of Cooperstown.
Finally...
I hope the guy DOES get inducted. Did he make a mistake? Sure. Has he suffered too long for his indiscretion? I think so...
Rose was banned from baseball in 1989 for gambling on games while managing the Reds. After years of denial, baseball's all-time king admitted in his recent book that he did gamble. I just don't see how his bad behavior erases the precedent he set - passing Ty
At any rate, Pete's going back to Cooperstown, after avoiding Hall of Fame weekend for the past three years (at the request of the league - a show of respect). Good for him. Have fun, Pete!

Let's not forget - Pete was already inducted into one Hall of Fame last year - the WWE...
Ok, I'm off my soapbox, now...

Go Pete!! You deserve it and even though you got cought gambling, your records (in Baseball) will always be remembered, at least by me, if not everyone else that loves baseball.
