pete rose put it best when he said that if he had tested positive for drugs, he would have been suspended for six weeks with the league paying for rehab. apparently gambling is a greater crime than doing drugs. the sports writers talked about integrity, but where is the integrity in giving a drug user a slap on the wrist, while someone who places a few bets gets banned for life.

I agree. I see no reason why Rose should be admitted to the hall of fame. People have done worse things are still considered future hall of famers.
