Baseball legend Pete Rose achieved his accomplishment in death, something he couldn't manage in his life - restored Major League Baseball. However, the baseball "purists" grasped the pearl, fearing that the bad guy would now be admitted to the baseball Hall of Fame.
They were wrong. No matter what baseball egghead says, Pete will enter Cooperstown.
For those young, Pete Rose is one of the greatest and most exciting athletes ever. Ross remains a hot king in baseball history, with his name with 4,256 base hits, three World Series champions, 17 All-Star appearances and more records than you can shake Louisville Slugger.

In 1978, he defeated the National League record in 44 consecutive games. For two decades, Major League Baseball pitchers versus Pete Rose danced outside third base.

Rose was a man before his time because he was gambling long before the major American movements, and our entire society embraced this habit. Of course, Rose doesn't simply log in to Fanduel and pay $50 on the Lakers. He bets on baseball games while managing his hometown team, the Cincinnati Reds. That's what makes him stand out from the game.
It's easy to understand why Rose was thrown away. Baseball used to be through cheating scandals. The Chicago White Sox in 1919 threw the World Series at the request of a gambler, as shown in the book and movie "Eight People". The 1918 World Series may have been fixed as well.
Protecting the integrity of the game is crucial to MLB specialists and the Baseball Hall of Fame. But, as Commissioner Rob Manford said, it is hard to see what damage someone would do to the game from the grave when he recovered Rose.
There are many people who want to see Ross' exile continue forever. They said his move made the baseball land along a slippery slope and it would never recover. Oh, please. They overlooked his greatness on the court and focused on his personal shortcomings, which is certainly a lot.

But the Baseball Hall of Fame doesn't exist to respect character. If they do, they will have to remove the plaque of Ty Cobb, a notorious racist and all-round bad human, and countless other female factors that can wield bats or strike.
Rose's choice did not affect the outcome of the game, unlike later baseball players, who used performance-enhancing drugs to promote their statistics and alter the points. He only hurt himself.
Back in 1973, when I was 15, I cut school and watched the Mets play the Reds in the National League Championship Series, a game marked by Pete Rose and Mets’ shortstop buddy Buddy Harrelson, which started a violent confrontation that almost led to the Mets’ confiscation.
Here is a box office photo of Michael Levin in the Mets-Reds game, who witnessed his 1973 friend Harrelson-Pete Rose.

A few years later, I met Rose at the Las Vegas souvenir shop where he would sign a photo or baseball. I told him that I witnessed his melee with Harrelson.
"We're lost." He smiled at me. "Why do I want to hear that game?"
Ross admitted to gambling for decades, probably because he never really thought he had done something so bad. His unapologetic stance undoubtedly restored him to baseball and entered the Hall of Fame throughout his life.

However, admitting Rose’s entry into the Hall of Fame is not just about fulfilling his memory. It celebrates his greatness in the memories of fans like me and young fans who study the history of the game.

The classic baseball committee was originally scheduled to determine Rose's fate until December 2027. Hopefully they now, now, let Pete Rose expire.
From the moment he first wore a red uniform, the man became a Hall of Fame. He died without forgiveness or defense. If I see it, it's a mistake in the scorebook. It's time to put the hot king where he belongs. On the plaque in Cooperstown, there are the rest of the gods. Pearls grab sports "experts" can hike.
