Pete Rose has 4,256 hits and he's not in the hall of fame. Sure he gambled on baseball but look at Ty Cobb who sharpened his spikes so he would stab the baseman when he slid into 2nd or 3rd base. Mickey Mantle was out all night drinking and cheating on his wife. Judging by these great players the Hall of Fame isn't a character hall of fame.
Pete is the all-time major league leader in hits (4256), games played (3562), and at bats (14,053). He won three World Series rings, three batting titles, one Most Valuable Player Award, two Gold Gloves, the Rookie of the Year Award, and made 17 All-Star appearances.
No one has the chance at beating some of Rose's records. There is no doubt in my mind that he deserves in the hall of fame. Anyone with this colorful of a career deserves to be in there. If he isn't allowed in the hall of fame maybe they should take Mantle, Cobb, etc out.
Screw the gambling issue its Pete effin' Rose. The only man worth the title of Charlie Hustle.
