• Pete Rose wants McGwire in Cooperstown: Article can be found here: ( http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baseball/bal-sp.bbnotes20dec20,0,4872887.story?coll=bal-sports-baseball ). For what it's worth, I think McGwire should get into the Hall Fame, only because of his numbers and accomplishments along with the assumption that many of his peers were involved in using performance enhancing drugs. Although the use of such drugs are against the law without a prescription, baseball and the powers that be did nothing to discourage the use of steroids until 2004. I can respect Pete Rose's opinion, but what he did to the game and how he handled his life afterwards was far worse than has transpired with Mark McGwire.
