Should Pete Rose be Allowed Into The Hall Of Fame?

I selected this topic for my graduation project because I feel that the banning of Pete
Rose is a huge social issue in the baseball world to this day.   There are a majority of
people who believe that Pete should be forgiven and let into the Hall of Fame, but there
are many who feel he should never again be a part of baseball.   This topic still reigns as
one of the biggest national issues concerning the morals of baseball.   Should baseball
forgive Pete for his alleged wrong-doings?   Should they keep him away from baseball so
they look like heroes trying to keep the corrupt things out?   The real question is, should
Peter Edward Rose be allowed in the Hall of Fame?   That is for the fan to decide.

One of Pete Rose's greatest feats was the night he broke Ty Cobb's 57 year old
record of 4191 career hits.   Here is how Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxhall called the
game that infamous night:

Brenneman:   One out...and here comes the main attraction...And they're on
their feet...Rose walking towards the plate...That number on his back
emblazoned on the minds of sports fans probably forever and ever...The
most famous number 14 in the history of this game...And trying to make
history right now in the first inning tonight....He levels the bat a couple of
times, Show (the pitcher) kicks and he fires...Rose swings...
Nuxhall:   There it is!   There it is!   Get out!   Get out!...All right! All right!
Brenneman:   Line drive, left center field, and there it is!   Hit number
forty-one-ninety-two...A line drive single into left center field...A clean
base hit, and it is pandemonium here at Riverfront Stadium...The
fireworks exploding overhead...Rose is completely encircled at first
base...And a kind of outpouring of adulation that I don't think you'll ever
see an athlete get any more of...Little Pete fighting his way through the
crowd, and Pete being hoisted on the shoulders of a couple of his
teammates...  
Nuxhall:   Quite a base hit...Ha ha...Yes it is,...
