1st Strongest Arguement

My first stongest arguement is that Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame because baseball is a game about statistics, and not what you do outside of the game. People should not get on his case about this. I believe if this incident had occured about 15-20 years ago, it wouldnt be as much of a big deal as people are making it. He has the support of many people, and some of them have even played baseball, and are in the hall themselves. This really shouldnt be the deciding factor on whether or not he should be in the hall of fame, which leads to my next arguement.
