Because of you assholes.
I'd hate to see this happen to Pete Rose too...uknow, die without making the Hall of Fame, but being worthy of making it.

However, I cared more about Ron Santo than Rose, just because he went through so much, was a great person, loyal to his Cubbies, and no one could say a bad thing about him.

My aunt can. Its really, really dumb. She wrote him a letter because my brother has a disease, and she wanted some inspirational words for my brother, and she never got a response. She was a die hard Santo fan until that point.

Whats dumb about it is that every time my brother and I have run into Santo, he was friendly, always said hi. The guy recognized us for a while.

That kindness was so much more important than not getting a letter back.

Anyway, Pete Rose deserves to be in, I'm all for the no ceremony thing, but he deserves the recognition.

He probably never even got the letter.
