I'm fine with keeping Rose out of the HOF because he broke baseball's golden rule. In every major league clubhouse, there is a sign that reads "Rule 21(d) - Any player, umpire, club or league official or employee who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform shall be declared permanently ineligible". He bet on baseball and a lifetime ban is what he deserves.
