Cool idea. Not kidding.
Pete Rose was my first favorite player growing up (in chicago i might add), and I still admire all that he did on the field. #14 will always deserve to be in the hall to me. When he broke the hits record I was so excited that I had to tell all of my classmates. They didn't care.
