One of Major League’s Baseball’s fiercest competitors has died and thus he never will be around if the MLB makes what I consider to be a regretful decision.<\/p>\n

That would be to include Pete Rose in the Hall of. Fame.<\/p>\n

Rose, the all-time leader in hits, at-bats and games played is gone. His legacy, though, will remain stained forever by a decision he made consciously and with a full understanding of the consequences of that decision.<\/p>\n

In the late 1980s, Rose bet on baseball games. He competed in some of those games on which he wagered. The MLB rule book speaks with crystal clarity: Anyone caught betting on baseball shall be banned from the organization for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n

OK, now he’s gone. Does that mean he becomes eligible for the Hall of Fame?\u00a0 If I were King of the World, I’d say “no!”<\/p>\n

The late Bart Giamatti, MLB’s commissioner at the time of the infraction, made the right call in banning Charlie\u00a0 Hustle from the game.<\/p>\n

Rose wasn’t the most talented player ever to suit up for big-league hardball. He arguably was the most driven. Sadly, though, that drive led him astray … and he paid the price he knew he would pay.<\/p>\n\n
