Pete Rose failed to make the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame on Monday when he did not win the support of at least 75 percent of the selection committee.
Baseball's career hit leader, who spent part of the 1984 season with Montreal and got career hit No. 4,000 with the Expos, was one of 46 nominees for the Canadian hall .
Tom Valcke, president and CEO of the Canadian Hall of Fame made the announcement on a Canadian TV show. The hall does not release vote totals.
The 2003 class for the shrine in St. Marys, Ontario, features former Blue Jays slugger Joe Carter (news), Canadian pitcher Kirk McCaskill, administrator Richard Belec and the Vancouver Asahi team.
Rose is ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. He agreed to a permanent ban from the sport in 1989 following a gambling investigation.
