Yes, for hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.... to the mob... as a player/manager.
I get it, Rose was an
amazing player. Because of that, his accomplishments are currently in the museum portion of the HOF. His 4200+ hits, his championships with the big red machine, all documented and on display
right now. He currently isn't being ignored by the hall by any means.
I don't have evidence that he threw a meaningless game here or there, but I wouldn't put it past him. Because of that fact, I just don't think he deserves to have his plaque in the actual "Hall" portion of the hall of fame.
