I find it baffling and mind boggling that Peter Edward Rose Sr. born 04-14-41 - 66 years old, is not in the Hall of Fame yet. How many current Hall of Famers want him in? I know Mike Schmidt does, as i'm sure Ripken and Gwynn do as well. It's the old farts like Bob Feller who don't want him in. Say what you want about his gambling AFTER his career, but the numbers Pete Rose put up were astounding. 10 seasons of 200 hits or more, yes, Ichiro will beat that, but that is incredible in itself. And to me, there is only ONE RECORD in baseball, and that is the all time HITS record, which Rose has, not the all-time HR record, and mark my words, NO ONE will touch this record for probably another 50 years, this and Joe Dimaggio's 56 games hitting streak. Those are 2 records that won't be touched for generations. Let Pete in already, and don't say, WELL HE COMMITED THE MOST CARDINAL SIN OF BASEBALL, he gambled...True, but the gambling that was brought into question was when his playing
