Don't get me wrong, he should never have gotten involved with gambling, especially betting on his own team. But there is no doubt about his baseball greatness. He had more hits than Ty Cobb and that's saying something.

IMO, Charlie does not deserve to be in the HOF. Cheating as manager of the team you are betting for/against?
That's outrageous conduct that simply alone should disqualify him. Never admitted it until 2004.

Sometimes in life you can't have it both ways. MLB finally took a stand and up came the detractors. He's not alone. McGuire, Bonds, Clemmons, Sosa form a Hall Of Shame.

Should OJ Simpson be in the Football Hall of Fame ? I say that he is in because of his stats. Do I despise OJ ? Yes ! But he still deserves to be in the Hall based on his accomplishments.

There was talk of that back then. In fact, there was talk about removing OJ from the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame.

Joe, I agree with your feelings and stance on Pete Rose, I really do. My opinion is that as much as I abhor Rose for what he did, I can dichotomize his awful choice from his baseball accomplishments. That's how I deal with the matter.

All those players who took steroids to enhance their performances are far more egregious in my opinion because their accomplishments were aided by drugs. We can never be sure how many home runs, rbi, hits, averages, etc. were due to the affect of steroids. At least Rose's stats were fully due to his actual non-drug induced performances. Rose's gambling was awful, but his stats cannot be questioned.
