Pete Rose in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame!!!

This petition is pretty self explained. I feel one of the greatest hitters in the history of Major League Baseball, should once and for all be forgiven for his mistakes and let into the Hall of Fame. I know there are people like me who agree...after all, EVERYBODY deserves a second chance. A little bit of info supporting my petition...In 24 seasons in baseball he played 3562 games, over 14,000 at bats, and hitting 4,256 in them at bats, giving him a lifetime average of .303.
