Rose has no business being a member of the hall of game. He was the Jeffrey Epstein of baseball. Engaged in sex trafficking of underage girls. He was also one of the main people involved in spreading the use of steroids in baseball. His son took up the family business and end up convicted for performance enhancing drug trafficking.
