My pick would be Reggie Jackson.And I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan so that's not easy for me to say.

He bet on his team to WIN while manager
It should not affect his entry into the hall. His accomplishments were before his disgrace. And his admittance into the hall must be tempered with his inability to be part of current play. What’s so hard about that.
A hall of fame with the arguably BEST player and definitely BEST hitter is a joke.

I always thought the lifetime ban would be lifted, the day after Pete Rose passes away.

I’m a lifelong Phillies fan. How painful is it for me to say Joe Carter?

Carter struggled at the HR derby the next year, the other players chanted, “get Mitch Williams!”

“Rose’s understanding at the time was that at some point he could petition to get unbanned.”
Yes, thanks, by Post #55 I had discovered proof of that.

Rose agreed to the ban in 89, it was 91 that the rules were changed to keep folks on the banned list out of the Hall. Rose could argue that he never agreed to a lifetime ban from the Hall, that MLB changed the rules after the fact just to keep him out; which is exactly what they did.
Even is Rose is cleared by MLB he would still have to be voted into the Hall. I'm not sure he could get the votes needed from the sportswriters or the old timers commission.

Time for baseball to get its head out of the sand and acknowledge Rose’s accomplishments. I assume they will, but not while he's alive to see it.

Rose has been in tonight’s All Star Game both in the pre game show and now a commercial.
Looks like he is going to get his pardon.
