Pete Rose got rejected by the lords of baseball yet again, but a crack remains open to still get the fame and glory of the HoF. Kinda like the Angels, who were rejected by Heyward but the crack opens for Gordon/Upton/Cespedes.
The Pete Rose saga serves as a metaphor for the Angels in this offseason. Rose was hoping for reinstatement into Major League Baseball, just like the Angels were hoping to re-instate their left fielder from the rich outfield pool Didn't happen. For either of us. But Commissioner Manfred held the door into the Hall of Fame just a crack.
