Pete Rose knows what it's like to be shunned by the Hall of Fame, and it's not something he'd wish on anyone. "I'm willing to give a guy a second chance," Rose said. "Would I vote for A-Rod [for the Hall] right now? I would. Manny Ramirez? He's not quite there, but he'll get there." But Rose isn't willing to give all PED users a free pass. "If someone was juicing and broke my [hits] record," he said, "I'd be pissed."
