There have always been exhibits featuring Pete Rose in the Hall Of Fame. The "preserving the sport's history" aspect makes no sense when you can go down there any time you want and learn about him and see memorabilia related to his career.
Forming a distinction between the HoF and Baseball itself seems kind of silly, since it's clearly in the HoF's best interest to have a close relationship with baseball.
