25yrs is long enough for what he did. I say let the guy in while he's still here.

They should also take a poll of all members of the HOF and if they think he deserves in, then he should be put back on the ballot. Or somethin like that....

I think if they polled the existing members of the Hall of Fame, the overwhelming majority of them would be against it.

I think you're right. And if that's correct, then it would tough letting him in when the majority are against it.

Then again, that might not be fair for Rose.

Let's take a poll to find out instead of guessing.
I have only talked to a handful of HOFers but never asked them about it.
How many have you asked?

I was listening to the radio a couple days ago and I think they said F. Robinson is very much against it. Not sure if that was all, but that's who I heard in the small clip. Very curious about the other members.

I would be very curious to hear all of their opinions also.

Robinson is a known curmudgeon who has been very vocal about Pete not getting into the Hall. Unfortunately he's on the Veterans Committee. I doubt the others are that against it, especially considering Joe Morgan is one of them.
