I agree with the message. However, I would argue that a heavy price has already been paid. It's been over 25 years since Rose was banned and I think it's time to commute his sentence. I don't ever want to see him in a leadership position where he could impact a game again. However, in terms of the HOF and baseball in general, I think he's served more than enough time.
