I think Pete Rose should be allowed into the Hall of Fame. Keeping out the player with the most hits would be a great disappointment. As we have seen, baseball has had its share of scandals. Many times before, other players have gotten away with deceitful or irresponsible behaviors and some of those same players ended up in the Hall of Fame.
Though being dishonest for years about his gambling was wrong, it shouldn't keep Rose from being recognized for what he did well in baseball. He created a unique feeling for the fans watching him. He was among the best in the game. Depriving Rose of this honor wouldn't be fair.
