Should Pete Rose & Shoeless Joe Jackson be put in immediately?

I feel Pete didn't cause any harm to baseball (yeah he's stupid) but he only bet on his team to win, which in my eyes would only make him try harder to win!
In 1921, Shoeless Joe Jackson was banned from baseball due to his alleged involvement in the Black Sox scandal of 1919. But for nearly 90 years, fans have argued as to whether or not the White Sox legend truly deserves such a stiff penalty, especially when he was acquitted by a judge of any wrong doing.

World Series

Year 1919
G 8
AB 32
R 5
H 12
HR 1
RBI 6
2B 3
3B 0
BB 1
Avg .375

You kidding me, I wish one of my Braves could bat .375 get 12 hits, knock in 6 during a WS. and be accused or throwing the game.

Step up the the plate, and give us your vote and opinion on the matter

To me what Bonds & Clemens have done, far out weigh what Rose & Jackson did
