In response to IRISH MAFIA:
Pete Rose had a personal services contract with the Reds which guaranteed him his salary.
And he got that based on his performance
Baseball is a business on both sides of the table. Players perform for themselves first, the team is secondary.
Thanks for the insight into Capitalism, but individuals cannot win games, and the odds of making any money by gambling on your team are not very good. Over half the teams in the major leagues are barely at 500 or worse.
Baseball doesn't run the HOF.
The HOF excludes ineligible players from consideration for induction. Major League Baseball has declared Rose ineligible.
Shame of the HOF for ignoring the obvious and not having the courage to do the right thing.
The HOF is bound by its adopted rules. Congratulations to MLB for having the courage to stick by its code of conduct.
