MLB's decision to lift Pete Rose's lifetime ban does not guarantee his entry into the Hall of Fame, according to Tony Kornheiser. Kornheiser emphasized that Hall of Fame voting is conducted by baseball writers, who are serious about maintaining the integrity of the game. He noted Rose's history of betting on games while managing the Reds, and mentioned other previously banned players, like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, who also face challenges in gaining entry. Kornheiser believes the writers will uphold their standards, making Rose's induction into Cooperstown unlikely.
Rob Manfred does not put you in the Hall of Fame. The baseball writers put you in the Hall of Fame ... (they) are guardians of the game. They take violations very seriously.
Pete Rose bet on games as a manager of one team. That doesn't go away.
You know who else is eligible for the Hall of Fame right now? Barry Bonds is eligible, Mark McGwire is eligible, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, they're eligible.
Those baseball writers, as we know well, are guardians of the game. They take violations very seriously.
