Wojy Compares Rose, McGwire, Sort Of
ESPN's Wojy kind of discusses MLB's embrace of McGwire while continuing to shun Rose. Nothing particularly new here. I think we'll continue to see a trend among sports writers pleading for Rose's reinstatement, especially those who were kids learning to love the game when Pete was in his prime.

The backlash to McGwire was harsher than I imagined
I thought at least some writers would give him credit for coming clean, but it’s been the opposite. I don’t see him getting 30% of the BBWAA vote in the future let alone 75%. He’ll have to wait for the Veterans’ Committee to get in.
I don’t agree with the Rose-McGwire comparison but it sounds like a lot of writers do. But the real issue is MLB, who won’t budge until Selig retires. Once that happens, I can see the Rose for Hall movement gaining some serious traction.
