Ban was a Hugh topic for years, I met many in that neighborhood that lost respect because of his actions. Rose never impressed me before he was caught, didn’t change much after the ban.
Just my opinion, but a life banned athlete, shouldn’t be allowed in any HOF.

What I would like to know is WHY he did NOT impress you? I think that ANY professional athlete in ANY sport is impressive. It is hard for a good high school athlete in a sport to make it to the next level - college level - many don't make it. Then the jump from college sports to professional is a great LEAP. I did NOT and still have dreams of the DISAPPOINTMENT.
.......Even if Pete Rose had ZERO personality and several other flaws, I would still be IMPRESSED and JEALOUS that he made it to the BIGS.
