The Hall is technically a separate entity from the MLB and as such their bannings of Rose are not tied. In fact I believe it is still possible for the BBWAA to vote Rose in with the normal 75%; they’ve just been told not to and I just don’t think you’re going the see any kind of anti-establishment (and, it should be added, anti-morality and anti-baseball) groundswell from guys who earn their paychecks interacting with executives, officials, and players from the corporation on a daily basis. These are pretty conservative people with a pretty conservative (at least in a baseball sense) of what they want to see in the Hall.
Also, if you’re going to make the PED argument, Rose took speed when he was a player, which arguably has a bigger direct effect on athletic performance than steroids do.
