Thanks for the support. Of course I meant no insult. I'll quibble with your definition though. Rose could have retired after the 1979 season and been a first ballot HoFer. I don't think his case is defined by his longevity, instead his longevity did nothing for his case. Ichiro is heading in that direction too.
