January 23, 200917 yr So what is this sign that is supposedly posted in clubhouses that Pete new he would not go in the HOF for gambling on baseball? He retired in 86, bet on baseball from 85 to 87. Received his ban from bart in 89. THen a change in 91 is what is keeping him out of the HOF? If he was banned from baseball in 89, then how would he have seen the signs in the clubhouse in 91? Just trying to figure it all out. Spoiled little brats, I still will not watch MLB! CHARLIE HUSTLE - HALL OF FAME! The "signs" on the clubhouse walls have been in place since the 1919 Black Sox scandal. They state that anyone involved in the game caught betting on MLB games will be banned from participating in any manner for life. There has never been mention of HOF on these signs, as Major League Baseball does not conduct the voting. Instead, the Baseball Writers Association of American, in 1991, the year before Rose would have been elgible for election, decided to make him in elgible. That was their decision, not MLB's. So, I guess you could say that in 1987 Rose knew if he got caught he would be banned from baseball, but never dreamed he would have his ticket to the Hall revoked!
