John Heyman from SI.com says it's time to put Davey in the hall
5. Dave Concepcion. This is his 15th and last year on the ballot, and he's probably going to get his usual 10 percent of the vote again. The reason I am in that 10 percent is that I think he was perhaps the best all-around shortstop of his generation and an underrated piece of the Big Red Machine. Great defender (five Gold Gloves) and superb stealer (321 stolen bases), his career looks a lot like Hall-of-Famer Phil Rizzuto's to me -- without the announcing, of course.

Warren Greene, Rose's Florida-based agent, said Rose has always stayed on the sidelines on these kinds of issues. He said after Rose sent MLB a letter in 1997 asking to be reinstated, he tried to stay away from outside efforts lobbying for his cause.
Wow, given the other things Rose has done, it's hard to believe he'd drawn the line there. Of course, I do believe he should be in the Hall of Fame.
Thanks for doing this, Laura!
No problem, I enjoy it!
