Based on his on-field play, he's obviously worthy.
However, he broke one of the most serious rules in the books, then spent years lying about it. Given that, I don't think he deserves enshrinement. He tainted the game in a very bad way.
I know that it stinks to think of guys like Bonds et al getting in while Rose sits on the outside looking in, but none of them were ever proven to have violated MLB rules. That doesn't make it any easier to swallow, but it's true.

We are all familiar with his scenario. His numbers say yes, his character says no. Does he deserve to be inducted? Based on the evidence laid out before the public, no. But lets say for a moment that he gets inducted.
How many of the living members of the hall of fame would attend a Pete Rose induction? How many fans would attend the induction ceremony? These are things that I've often wondered.
Some members of the hall have even threaten to give up their place in the hall if Rose ever got in. The only public supporter of Rose over the years has been Mike Schmidt. That's not much support if you ask me.

I'm not sure, I have heard some experts say that if it was for his hits record(I know, thats like saying Babe Ruth wouldn't be any good if you take away all his HRs) he wouldn't even be a HOF; Didn't hit for any power, despite all those hits, still barely batted over three hundred. Was a 17 time all star, but I think those stats are a little overblown. Did win one MVP award in 73, but really didn't have a great year, hit 338(very nice) scored 115 runs(also good) but had no power and only 60 or so RBIS. Was a three time batting champ. Holds record for most games played, most hits and most AB's, but lets be honest those are more just proof had how rarely he was hurt. Was a 3 time world series winner. He last six years, so a fourth of his career, he batted .260, clearly just trying to hang on to get the hits record. He did however hit over three hundred 15 times! It was clear this man could hit singles, but less then a fourth of his hits were extra bats hit. For every positive there is a negative. I never saw him play, but I have to believe that he was the type of player when you saw him, you came away thinking he was a great player. I think he has the stats, clearly, but with the gambling no one would let him in. They were going to make an example of a baseball player so no one else would bet, it is just sad that the one they caught was a HOF player. So no, I don't think he gets in.

I have to go with what Georgie Porgie says. He was banned for life. He is represented in the HOF, with his uniform, stats, and other articles. But they did make a final ruling, I believe in 2006. He will never be in the hall of fame as a great player. I am just hoping they do the same to Barry Bonds. If am man can be banned for betting on baseball (he said not on his own team), then why shouldn't a player be banned for using an illegal substance that turned him into a super jerk, I mean player.

BANNED FOR LIFE
usually means just that---FOR LIFE!
Pete Rose Does NOT belong in the Hall Of Fame!!!
NOT even as a paying customer.
NOT even after he has been dead for 100 years!
What he did was so wrong (gambling).
Anyone who thinks otherwise (even remotely) is NOT a REAL Baseball fan.

He deserve it. What he did on the field was honest without drugs and makes ever kid dream to do it the right way. He loves the game of baseball and played it with his heart. He has made a mistake and as an American everyone should get a second chance once they have admitted to it. I'm afraid they will wait til he is dead and til then i feel that there is a big hole at the hall of fame!

Rose is not banned for life, or even FOR LIFE!
Rose is banned Permanently.
When that term of sentence expires, Rose may -- may -- regain Hall eligibility. Though I doubt it.
Rose would merit induction if not for special, extenuating circumstances of his own making. Bad decisions can have bad consequences.
