Questions:
1. It is time to update the stance on Pete Rose. Should Pete Rose be admitted to the Hall of Fame?
Original stance (January 31, 2003):
| Masten | Yes, but his face should not be on the plaque, and he can have no dealings with any major league team, or have anything to do with the minor leagues. Would also be agreeable to a post-mortem induction. |
| Congo | Yes, with an asterisk leading to a plaque commemorating the ban. |
| Rainman | No. |
| Archie | He should be inducted after his death. |
Updated stance, in light of the admission by Rose that he did indeed bet on his own team while managing (January 23, 2004):
| Diesel | Insist on post-mortem induction. |
| Congo | No change. |
| Rainman | Still no, in lieu of Rose in, Bart Giamatti should get in instead. (This statement is to be punctuated with a fist pump) |
| Archie | He should be inducted after his death AND his son's death. |
Updated stance (February 24, 2006):
| Diesel | Should not be inducted, he is a dumb bumpkin. |
| Brother Nature | No change. Did he write a book? |
| Sandman | No, No, No |
| White Russian | He should be inducted 100 years after both his death and his son’s death. |
2. What is the dustiest item in Brother Nature’s house?
| Diesel | The gas lamp with "BMTG" on it (1/4" deep) |
| Sandman | Phonograph with Yes and Kiss 8 tracks on it |
| White Russian | The microwave |
