I’d like to see him in the HOF, but not allowed to be involved in baseball. As much as I detest Bonds, I’d like to see him in the HOF, too. He earned it before he ‘buffed’ up. Clemens earned it too. Most of those other guys..Sosa McGuire and all relied on the drugs to get their HOF numbers, but not the other two, IMO

I am one who thinks the entire body of work on the field should be the criteria. Rose on the field is on a very short list of the greatest players ever, and he should have a place.

I agree on all your points, except that I'm ambivalent on whether or not Rose is involved in baseball.
