Boggs and Sandberg ready for Rose

FOX Sports reports that newly elected Baseball Hall of Famers Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg are ready for Pete to go in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

New Hall of Famers Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg have their own list of candidates to join them in Cooperstown, and it includes Pete Rose.[...]

"I patterned my game after Pete," said Boggs, who had a .328 career average and 3,010 hits. "When you look at what he accomplished - he's the hit king. Without him, there's a void in the Hall of Fame. He needs to be there."

Sandberg, whose .989 fielding percentage is the highest for a second baseman, also supports Rose.

"I understand the situation, with all he's gone through," Sandberg said. "It's a matter of time before baseball excuses him, and he gets in with 4,000-plus hits."

Bud Selig needs to reinstate Pete with certain exceptions. Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame and that is another area that I disagree with Senator Jim Bunning--who took very long to get in to the Hall of Fame at that.

The net was down at the office so it took a while to get on this Thursday.
