Former MLB star Will Clark appears on OutKick's "The Ricky Cobb Show" to talk about Pete Rose. Pete Rose passed away on Monday at 83 years old, and the question about whether he should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame is raging.
Six-time MLB All-Star Will Clark made his stance clear on Rose’s potential Hall of Fame induction during a recent appearance on OutKick’s "The Ricky Cobb Show." "What I was saying about Pete is how can you not let him into the Hall of Fame?
He is by far, by far the best hitter of a baseball ever. I mean you got to get 200 hits for 21 straight years, and then you're still 56 hits shy of his record," Clark said.

I think it’s a travesty," Clark continued. Rose won an MVP, was a three-time World Series champion, World Series MVP, three-time batting champion and a 17-time All-Star over the course of his 24-year playing career.
