If you have proof that anyone was using PEDs that were banned by MLB, then yes they should not be allowed in the Hall of Fame. Who gives a shit if "everyone" was doing it. Was it against the rules? Then fuck off.

I don't understand what is so hard about holding people accountable.

I don't understand why anyone would think that alcohol use should count as PED use. Alcohol degrades the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. That does not help a player to perform better. It makes a player perform worse.

Maybe the solution is this simple. Let the mlb finish the thorough independent investigation that Pete rose requested to stop. Let the public know all the information. Everything from his gambling to the statutory rape accusations. If the rose family will allow that, then you use that information to decide if he belongs in the HOF.

Pete Rose never helped himself because he was a huge dickbag, never tried to rehabilitate his image, none of that.

And lately baseball had called his ban a permanent ban.

Even though Rose is on Major League Baseball's ineligible list, it was the National Baseball Hall of Fame that adopted rules to keep Rose out.

Feb. 8, 1991: Persons on baseball’s ineligible list cannot be eligible candidates.

Up until 1991, there was a gentleman's agreement where it was known that Black Sox players like Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Buck Weaver wouldn't be considered for the Hall. But after Rose's ban in 1989, the HOF went out of its way to make sure he wouldn't reach the ballot.

Hall of Fame President Josh Rawtich is the one here that has the power to get Rose's case considered. There's no benefit for MLB to reexamine Rose's case.
