So…what’s everybody think? Was it justice or injustice keeping him out of the HoF for life?
Think he’ll get in posthumously?

He was his own worst enemy and couldn’t get out of his own way, but I would have liked to see him in the Hall while he was alive.
It would have been good for the Reds and Cincinnati. I truly believed no one loved baseball more than he did.
No need to keep him out. I was a huge supporter of him getting in alive but it became evident he lied way too much
Damn!!!!!! Anyone who played that hard should have gotten in
Injustice.
I hate the Reds, but Rose should have gotten in with an asterisk.
Baseball (all sport) is about performance.
I always felt like they’d eventually let him in while he was still alive.
I guess not.
He does belong in the hall of fame though.

Never is a long time but I don't expect they will let him in any time soon. They should, though.
Wow. Just heard this. Just got back from working out and my bride told me after I showered.
He lied and he was a pretty scummy guy around the city. But I don’t believe he ever negatively impacted the score of a game or its ultimate outcome.
The thing I always appreciated about Rose is that he got more out of his natural ability than any other athlete I can think about. Jordan had a higher ceiling and probably got as close to his as Rose did.
I think it’s a travesty that he was denied induction to the HOF while alive. Bart Giamatti is the ultimate villain to the west side of Cincinnati. Westsiders might tear down the Hall if they try something now.
