Once again, the Baseball Hall of Fame denied Pete Rose enshrinement. Why do they continue to deny history? Rose is the all time hit king of the game. 17 time all star, MVP and the absolute best clutch hitter ever.

Realizing he screwed-up by betting on baseball games while managing the Reds (it was NEVER proven that he bet on his own team's games and he vehemently denies ever doing so), the time for using common sense on his induction has long passed. 

I can't see this obstinance by the HOF board as anything less than vindictiveness. They simply want to delay his entry until after his death. There is no good reason to delay his induction.  They could certainly explain the controversy about his delayed induction on his plaque. 

So to those on the HOF board who voted to deny Rose induction, I say you are failing the history of the game. I have visited the Hall twice. I will never go back until Rose is an enshrined member.
