    This is like the South Park episode where they had to vote between a turd sandwich and a giant douche for their new school mascot.

    Where's the all of the above option? They both deserve induction.

    Do y'all not understand the concept of "rather"?

    The question is "Who would you rather see in the Hall Of Fame?".

    The choices are "Pete Rose or Barry Bonds".

    Choose one or the other or (Hey, a third option!) don't vote.

    both - as a web developer, I would've made those checkboxes, not radio buttons.

    Well of course they both "deserve" to be in it. The difference is that Bonds is a first ballot HOF and it's not even debatable. Rose will never get in unless he one day disassociates himself from gambling, just for starters.

    Agree 100%. Rose himself now seems resigned to his fate. This year was the first in a while that he was signing autos during the HOF ceremonies in Cooperstown. He had stayed away for several years thinking it would help his case, but I think he realizes that Selig has no intention whatsoever of admitting him to the Hall.

    And it's really a shame because Rose was a great player who helped my Phillies win a World Series. Would the Phillies have won the 1980 WS without Rose? Well they had basically the same team and failed to get into a World Series before acquiring Rose.

    Bottom line - Rose loves gambling more than he loves baseball - that is quite clear and unless that changes, Rose will never get in the Hall - I don't care who is the commissioner.

    Pardon my ignorance, but is Rose still the same compulsive gambler he always was?

    my vote is that pete will get in , but they wont let it happen untill after he is dead, kinda a pr ickjob,more hits than anyone in histor,andnot on ballot,alot other players have done worse and got caught,look at strawberry-he is on the ballot list, and look what he did to himself, bonds willl get in eventually, not 1st ballot thought i dont think,the sportswriters will remember him as not nice to them lol

    I say let both in. Maybe Rose a little more so than Barry.

    Once a compulsive gambler ALWAYS a compulsive gambler, believe that.
