+1. And the flip-flop of the story of whether he bet on his team or not sure didn't help his case any.

Isn't his chances of getting in all but gone. I thought he had to be selected after so many years after he is eligible and if not that window is gone.

That doesn't even make any sense. Look, he broke one of the biggest rules in sports: no inside gambling. He knew it when he did it. The reason they're not letting him into the Hall in any capacity is because of all the damage gambling has done to pro sports over the decades.

Guys, this isn't some out-of-left-field decision. It was known long before Rose started gambling on his team that gambling on baseball was strictly forbidden. He broke a big rule. He's being punished for it.

I have it on good authority that he made a lot of his bets while standing outside on a telephone.
