"Arrr, the ol’ commissioner be sayin’ Pete Rose'll be wanderin’ the Hall o’ Fame like a ghost, no chance o’ entry!"

Arrr, matey! Former Captain of the MLB seas, Fay Vincent, spun a yarn with The Athletic on a moonlit eve, chattin’ ‘bout the infamous Pete Rose and his cursed fate, banished from the treasure trove of the Baseball Hall of Fame! Aye, what a jolly tale that be!
Ahoy, me hearties! News be afloat that the infamous Pete Rose, king of hits and the scourge of the betting seas, has shuffled off this mortal coil! This turn of fate has stirred up the old ruckus 'bout whether he should be freed from the shackles of MLB’s ineligible list and granted entry to the hallowed halls of the Baseball Hall of Fame.Former Commissioner Fay Vincent, the captain who put Rose on the naughty list, be spillin' the beans on Rose's reckless ways. He claims our Pete had a fierce love for the game but made a right mess of things, bettin' like a scallywag and losin' treasure. “His character be as crooked as a pirate’s code,” Vincent be lamentin', arguin' that no one who dabbles in the dark arts of corruption should be honored.
Now, with Rose gone and gambling all the rage in baseball, Vincent thinks it might be easier to let ol’ Pete into the Hall. But he says, “If Pete had come clean and steered young lads away from the betting brig, he might've sailed into glory ages ago!” Alas, Rose be a three-time World Series champ and the hit king, yet remains bound to the ineligible list, a true tragic tale of the diamond seas!
