If he didn't, then he would have to oppose himself being allowed in. I don't categorize either offense. They've both disgraced the game and none of them should be in the hall of fame and their records eliminated. And I guess Pete's been so busy at the race track (although he says he's no longer a gambling addict) that he never read the story on Bonds or he'd know that it's been proven Bonds took PED's...allegedly without his knowledge. Just another dirtbag. Of course Rose will back all other cheaters. If he didn’t, then he would have to oppose himself being allowed in. I don’t categorize either offense.

That's how it shakes out in Rose's mind, anyway. Still, this is pretty damn transparent. "I'm willing to give a guy a second chance." Unlike a certain goofy-looking MLB commish, right Pete?
