  • This record should be recognized and celebrated.
  • Proper recognition means inclusion of the record-holder in the HoF.
And in order to do that, Pete Rose must be reinstated in Baseball. It follows logically.
Pete Rose also broke a cardinal rule of baseball, with a well-known lifetime ban as a consequence. Therefore he does not belong in the baseball HoF while he is alive. It follows logically.
