Here, here! I agree. I could argue more against Shoeless, but come on, Rose?
If he had thrown a game or something, yes, but he didn't. He bet on his own club to win. Yes, a permanent ban from MLB, but the HOF is based on the achievements of the players. Charlie Hustle still holds 5 MLB records. 5 of them! The biggest is the number of career hits.
No one else in over 100 years of major league baseball has achieved more hits. None of his records were affected by his betting on his or other MLB games. Keep him banned from playing or coaching, but let's recognize his achievements on the field.

Shoeless received money to throw the World Series. He took the money and then played as well as he always did, but dude, you crossed a line. That was actually a crime. Roses infraction wasn't a crime.
