Video: Albert Pujols likes his new Hitting Coach

ESPN's Baseball Tonight has been taking their bus on a "Grapefruit Express Tour" covering all of Florida. Here's Albert Pujols and his new hitting coach, Mark McGwire talking about hitting.

Hopefully soon, Baseball will quit making a villain out of another great player who apoligized for his actions, Mr. Pete Rose. How McGwire is now looked upon as a hero in baseball while Rose keeps being villafied is sickening to me. Pete apologized for his actions. Let Him In the Hall Of Fame! There are people of worse character than him in the hall (See Cobb, Ty), so why not have the All Time Hits Leader, Mr. Charlie Hustle himself, in the Hall Of Fame?

Greater Baseball Sin: PEDs or Gambling?

Richard Justice and Howard Bryant debate the actions of steroids users compared to Pete Rose's betting on baseball.

Will Pete Rose Ever Be Reinstated?

All-time hits leader Pete Rose was banned for life from baseball twenty years ago after a major league investigation that included allegations of betting on baseball.


Mike Schmidt is one of the Hall of Famers who believes Rose has suffered enough.

If Rose ever gets reinstated, it probably won't be while Bud Selig is Commisioner.

Report: Commsisioner Bud Selig Reviewing Rose's Status

MLB commissioner Bud Selig appears to be "seriously considering" reinstatement for Pete Rose nearly 20 years after the hit king was banned from baseball for gambling on the sport, according to a report in the New York Daily News.


If Rose were to become eligible, it stands to reason he would have to be voted into the Hall of Fame by the 65 living members who make up the Veterans Committee.

Inclusion on the writers' ballot expires after 15 years, though Rose has never appeared on their ballot except by write-in.

ESPN's Buster Olney talks about the report.


MLB Hall of Famer Hank Aaron gives his thoughts on Pete Rose.


I would expect Pete Rose to be reinstated, but only as Bud Selig'a last act before he leaves office in 2012.

I think in the steroid era, Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame. All he did was bet on baseball. Some players has seriously hurt the game with their use of performance enhancing drugs.

That is my poll question: Should Pete Rose be reinstated by Major League Baseball? Vote yes or no.
