Since his recent death, the debate has been reignited as to whether Pete Rose should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

In his latest edition of Reading Baseball, Pete Peterson looks at the controversial career of the game’s all-time hits leader.

Reading Baseball is a series of essays and commentaries by Richard “Pete” Peterson, author of Growing Up With Clemente and editor of The St. Louis Baseball Reader.

Richard "Pete" Peterson is the creative force behind WSIU Radio's Reading Baseball Series. Pete's original essays and commentaries are a regular staple for any fan of the game.
