This was in newspaper today. Reds will talk to MLB Commish Office as they go.....but they intend to have Pete Rose in Reds Hall of Fame in next year or two regardless of lifetime ban. ....Now I agree with this. The Reds Hall of Fame IS NOT Cooperstown. We aren't talking MLB Hall of Fame here. We are talking about states rights and city rights, and Cincinnati should be able to put Pete in Reds Hall of Fame if they want. After all, MLB let Reds Hall of Fame display Pete Rose things a couple years ago......I would hope this leads to Reds retiring his number 14, and adding his statue outside, and a Pete Rose Day for these things....and if I'm Pete Rose, if I never get in the MLB Hall of Fame in my lifetime, I enjoy being honored in my home town of Cincinnati, the home of professional baseball, and I enjoy and celebrate this greatly. ....To me, this is GREAT news after all the players the Reds dumping in payroll cuts.
