Gee, I thought it was the Baseball Hall of Fame, not the Perfect Person who has My Values Hall of Fame. Pete was a Great Ballplayer and should be judged solely on that. If you need perfect Gentlemen, remove Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and many many others. As a matter of fact, the only members would be Jesus, Mohammed, Allah, etc
Pete Rose was banned for betting on games he was involved in. The book “Shoeless” offers proof that Joe Jackson knew exactly what he was doing in the 1919 World Series. He wasn’t a country boy taken in by the big city gamblers. Their superior talent makes it tragic that they have to be kept out. Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth were not nice men, but neither gambled on the game. (Or did Cobb get down a bet or two? There is some possibility.)

The headline on the poster reads, “ZOMBIE INDUCTION.” Bad choice of font. I blame the art director at Bad Boys Marketing.

Joe Jackson was banned for life; isn’t it about time recognize the magnitude of his talent?
