October 5, 20241 yr Author Aha, anger management issues - and he was a r acist during an era of rampant racism (ever hear of Woodrow Wilson?). FWIW, in his older years, Cobb was a big supporter of Willie Mays. Last I heard, being an a-hole isn't disqualifying to enter the Hall. Pete Rose was far from a choir boy. I think we all agree that as a person, he was a bad role model. But he is also the major league leader in hits, 3 time WS Champion, and player unmatched in terms of hustle. He was disqualified from the HOF by an unqualified Commissioner - for betting on his own team. Seems kinda silly in today's world when betting is ready available to the entire public from their cell phones. And FWIW, there are lot of a-holes in major league sports. Plenty of them.

Maybe he'll be let in now that he's dead. Maybe they just didn't want to have it while he was alive.
