That was added the year before Rose was eligible and after the Dowd Report. The HoF is a museum and should be comprehensive.

You asked for the rule. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Is there any Pete Rose items at all in the HoF like the ball from his record breaking hit? If so then that is sufficient

That's not a rule on betting, that's just a rule that was added to keep Rose out. And it didn't exist when he committed his violations.

Yes.

What is the point of this rule? The betting on baseball rule for MLB makes sense. This rule for keeping people out of the HoF doesn't make sense and serves no purpose.

It's highly possible, probable even, that if Rose didn't purposely throw games when he was a manager, he at least shaved points.
I repect the way Rose played (Charlie Hustle), but IMHO he does not belong in the HoF.

Well considering one of the qualifications for entry is and always has been "integrity", I could see how they would want to exclude those who are deemed ineligible to participate in the MLB.
