Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry said he has a much bigger problem with what Pete Rose did to make himself ineligible for National Baseball Hall of Fame election than he does with performance-enhancing drugs, according to USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale.
Perry believes Barry Bonds should be a Hall of Famer, but not Pete.
From Nightengale:
“Pete did the worst thing possible, worse than steroids,’’ Perry said on a conference call Thursday morning, “he put money on games, win or lose. He’s paying the price.’’
“I think he’ll get in eventually,’’ says Perry, who was inducted in 1991.
