He died 09/30/2024. Any chance now that he will get in the BHOF? IMO, I think they could let him in now, since he can’t enjoy the privilges. It’s not a guarentee. The consquences though; if they let him in, they have to let others in like Bonds, Clemens, etc…
I hope he does. Pete was not a great guy. He bet on baseball. I don’t believe he ever bet on Cincinnati reds to lose. I seriously doubt he is the only one in the hall of fame that bet on baseball. The hall of fame does not say that you have to be a great person to get elected. Pete is not a nice person but that does not mean he should not be elected. I do think he should have admitted to betting on baseball. I also think the commissioner at the time did not work in good faith with Pete. Ty Cobb is said to be the biggest pos ever but he in the the hall. So it’s time to put him in.
