Everyone knows who the hit king was. Rose doesn't have to be in the HOF. His legacy is what it is, with both good and bad.
I watched Rose tie then pass both Stan Musial and Ty Cobb. Those moments were way bigger than a HOF induction ceremony. Fuck the HOF. There are plenty of other players with huge accomplishments who won't ever get in.
I'd rather see Shoeless Joe make it in too.
