Should selig reinstate Rose?

[GonzoStyle]

His stats proved otherwise but his fielding was suspect. He batted over .300 and hit the only homerun in the series on his team but some of his fielding was very suspect. While his offense was undeniably MVP worthy the fact remains he took 10,000 dollars for what he knew was money meant to throw the series.

Barring that fact, it's been over 80 years, I would say let him in already. Jackson could have been the best ball player or atleast in the top 5 of all times. His lifetime batting avg still ranks in the top 10 of all time in a shortened career. Ruth even admitted to modeling his batting after jackson, whom he called the greatest ballplayer he ever saw. Cobb said many times he thought jackson was the best he ever saw, after himself ofcourse.

In his shortened career jackson still put himself in the upper heiarchy of baseball legends, so he definetly should be in the HOF.
