Betting in Sports

According to http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1265784, Pete Rose is the all-time career hit leader in Major League History with 4, 256 hits. This happens to be one of the greatest records in the game of baseball. Four years after he became the career leader in hits, there was an investigation on Pete Rose and him Gambling money for and against his team the Cincinnati Reds. He did this throughout his career many times both as a player and a coach for the Reds. As a result of him gambling on baseball he has been kicked out of the league and is also not allowed to be a part of the baseball hall of fame. In my opinion i think that is just a little to much. I do agree with the fact that he should not be allowed to come back in to the league and coach, but I don't think he should be kept from the hall of fame. I mean come on how can you tell me that Pete Rose, one of the best players ever to play the game and the career hit leader should be kept from the hall of fame, I don't think so. His nickname according to http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1265784 his nickname was Charlie Hustle because he always played so hard and had a passion for the game, so obviously he cared so much about the game that the gambling didn't even matter that much to him. But that's just my opinion of what should happen with the whole Pete Rose Scandal but that's just my opinion and mine isn't the only one that matters. So, should Pete Rose, the career hit leader of the MLB, be left out of the game of baseball and the hall of fame?
