Pete Rose was one of the best baseball players of all time. His dedication and play to the sport of baseball was one of the best there was to offer. Pete Rose and Baseball went together so well they were in inseparable. They say Baseball is America's past time, and to some it is one of the best sports ever played. Baseball is a game played by two opposing teams made of multiple players, but only nine players per team play at the same time. Thirty teams play in professional baseball (MLB). To be apart of a team a player has to play the game extremely well. And when a player plays the game better than most have played he gets rewarded. They usually get rewarded with lots of money in a big contract. Then there are players that are above everyone else that play, the rare players that don't come around very often. They get inducted into the Hall of Fame. There are currently 244 elite players of the game that have already been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and being inducted in the Hall of Fame is the utmost of baseball honors. The players listed are remembered forever. This brings me to my argument. Pete Rose should be allowed induction into the Hall of Fame.

Pete Rose also played professional baseball for more consecutive years than anyone else ever has. He played for a whopping 24 straight years, which is another all-time league record. These 24 years outdid even the great Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, and Rod Carew (All in the Hall of Fame.) Rose played major roles on the three championship years that he had on the "Big Red Machine." Rose and his teammates earned three World Series championships, whereas Ernie Banks, a member of the Hall of Fame, was never able to win one.

Many of the players that have made it to the highest level of the game, being inducted into the Hall of Fame, do not have even one tenth of the statistics that Pete Rose has. Rose has more career hits than anyone who has ever played the game, 4,256 to be exact. Rose also played in 3,562 games (a major league record), was the 1963 Rookie of the Year, and in 1973 was the National Leagues Most Valuable Player. He holds the all-time league record for most at bats (14,053), the record for the most singles (3,315), and the record for most doubles (746). He also holds the all-time league record for most total career runs at 2,165. As you can see, Pete Rose isn't your average inductee as he holds quite a few of records and more than meets the standards to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

tics and game organizers, they do not want Pete Rose inducted. They have claimed that his illegal betting on baseball games should keep him out of the Hall of Fame. Almost all of the "highly questionable" evidence that Commissioner Bart Giamatti held came from former friends and associates of Rose. They claimed it was up to "$30,000 per day", that that he played,
