About time. HOF shouldn’t be a moral compass. They were kings of industry on the Diamond. IDGAF about their flaws. I bet most people in most sport HOFs have checkered shit.

Far worse than gambling on games he managed is the inarguable evidence that Rose was a pederast.

Manfred waited till Rose passed, so he (Pete) couldn't profit off his HOF status.
Seems kind of shitty, but then again Pete was a pretty shitty guy, so 'meh'. HELL of a baseball player, though! |

Pete was getting his gambling money by signing autographs at Caesars Palace.

I don't know anything about baseball history, but if the guy couldn't afford shoes, then maybe he had a justifiable reason for taking payoffs.

And the greatest of all time, Barry Bonds, still won't get in to that joke HOF.

He'll have to die first, apparently.

Bonds was intentionally walked 688 times. Next closest i believe is Pujols at 316.
He was walked with the bases EMPTY 41 times. Next most was 10. He is one of five guys in the history of MLB to be walked intentionally with the bases loaded. Bro was feared and it was glorious to watch. |

Shameless PR stunt since they are both dead.
