Where’s an honor to Pete Rose?!?!

I personally think it should have been lifted many years ago.
As long as that rule stays in the book as written then they don't have a lot of leeway to lift the ban.
From what I can see MLB does still acknowledge his record, at least it's on their website where he shows as the all time hits leader.

You haven't stopped responding to people all day. Clearly you have a MASSIVE crush on the entire forum. Grow up and gtfo here, kid. Your point is moot. No one gives a [censored] about your tantrums. No amount of crying on the forums is gonna get Pete Rose in the HoF, just like no amount of crying about sets/seasons, gameplay, or threatening to quit playing the game is gonna change anything.
Daddy, chill! I'm getting hot.
It's a forum and sds has never spoken to me nor banned me. They clearly don't give a [censored] about my presence so you shouldn't either. You can block me that's still an available option for you.
I don't use social media. This IS my media. FAR more entertaining and enjoyable than any other app imo. I love it here. Many good people and many silly people (like you and myself). Do yourself the favor and get off the app or block me. Idc.
As much as I bash SDS they really do a good job for me in aspects like this forum. I learn alot. -

Yeah they've repeated the 4,200 + quite a bit but honestly I think because the Reds as an organization have still loved and supported him, for the most part, the MLB kind of has to acknowledge his presence and accomplishments.
Maybe you said this yourself idr, they let slide the Mark MacQuires if the league because the league was in trouble so they needed the fan money but, that's what set people off about Rose in the first place. Idk I wasn't alive during his reign nor was I old enough to truly develop an opinion. I just love the guy as an entertainer and ball player. Crazy immoralities outside the game aside, he did a good job for the sport. If he wasn't amazing at the sport this would never be a debate. -

Just a couple of points.
-
Steroids/PEDs are not an automatic lifetime ban according to the rules. Just ask Tatis Jr.

MLB itself did not punish McGwire but the BBWA sure punished him when it came to the HOF. He received just 12.3% of the vote in his final year of eligibility. They have also kept out Sosa and Bonds.

Well if AdeptofMemory thinks the ban should be lifted what are we doing fellas?

@mrCpops_PSN Don't see how you can say that when this game does so much to honor this game. The Negro Leagues storylines are just one example. (And a superb one at that.) But there are so many others. I think given their history that SDS would do something if they could.

Pete Rose is in Out of the Park Baseball.

Different game and most likely a different license deal.
Because Out of The Park Baseball is also a historical sim I believe they can use anybody who ever played for a team. The key here is that they don't use those players likenesses. They player picture in game may vaguely resemble the player but not exactly.
Because of that they may be allowed to use him because they are not paying him (or now his estate) any money to be in the game.
I believe they have Shoeless Joe Jackson as well.

Has anyone made a RTTS Rose character...... ?

Adults calling other adults "homie," "kid," "my brother in Christ," and "goober."
Really?

Strat-o-Matic has Rose and Bonds.

I am guessing that like Out Of The Park they don't use likenesses of the players and therefore the players make no extra money for being in the game. It's why these games will let you play any season from the past regardless of the players in the league at that time, because they don't have to pay them likeness rights.

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN
You do realize that betting on someone to win is still gambling. Doesn't change the fact that he was manipulating outcomes. Maybe he goes with a different lineup because he has money on game. Maybe he pulls a pitcher early to cover the spread. Or leaves a starter and presses him to injury in hopes of getting a W. If you change you normal routine because you have money on it, you are turning it from sports to theater
