He is not allowed to be considered for induction into the Hall - that's a little different from banning. Basically, he simply isn't allowed to become a member of the Hall. That doesn't mean that the Hall is expunging any trace of him or his accomplishments from their collections.

It always amazes me that people try to say that because Rose only bet as a manager, that it didn't hurt the integrity of the game.
Are you people stupid? Seriously. Betting by ANYONE that has ANY say in the game -- player, manager or umpire -- is the worst thing for the integrity of the game.
Also, if you believe he only bet as a manager, you're very very naive. He admitted to playing the horses, and blackjack while he was playing, so why wouldn't he have bet on the game too? You think he just discovered a love to gamble when he retired?

Even though he can't go into the HOF that got to have something because not only was he a great player, he is also the all time hits leader.

Even though he was banned from baseball, there were memorable pieces of equiptment that he used on the day he hit the most all time hits (4,256), that were placed in the HOF on that day.

Proud To Be American says it all.
Let the guy in as a player for the love of God.
Just more hypocrisy from the commisioners, past and present.

Because there is a clear and meaningful distinction between honoring a man and honoring his achievements.

There was stuff already in place when he was banned that they decided not to remove. I also believe he should be in, but with Selig as commissioner it won't happen.

Me too - Sterioids is one thing gambling is another.
If you gamble as a MANAGER you should be in as a PLAYER.
I mean come on 4,000 + Hits and NOT in the hall of fame?
