Should Pete Rose be executed in Cooperstown for crimes against baseball?
I think the answer is quite obvious.

4. So a compromise then. Rose gets in HoF but has to die right afterwards.
Hmmm, this could allow MLB to not appear weak and Rose to get what he wants too

3. Yes, and it should be execution by having Clay Aiken fired from a cannon
through his chest.

Not that Clay has anything to do with baseball, but, hell, might as well get rid of two criminal fucks if you're gonna do one.

5. Sure, go ahead. And then induct him.........
Due to the fact that his ban is "lifetime".

9. But Ty Cobb was a great ballplayer who followed all the rules!
He didn't just get in, he was the first one in! Shit man, one could argue that Ty Cobb was probably the reason they made the fucking hall of fame!

11. He was part of the original 6
Wagner, Johnson, Young, Ruth, Cobb, and Mathewson. Cobb has the best average ever at 366, the kind that people would like to have for one season, to think that guy averaged that for 20 years, he was a prick but talented.

13. I believe he got more votes from the writers than Ruth did
He was amazing, an asshole yes but still a hell of a player.
