I can't find it, but there were sources that stated Rose could have had a limited ban if he would have admitted betting on baseball in 1989.
I'm fine with the ban from MLB, it's the exclusion from the Hall that I have an exception to. Of course I think the Hall is a farce and would discount it completely if there was a legitimate alternative.

If a credible source is stating that Rose bet on the game while he was still playing it, then that would change my position.
It's just too bad, because he was an exceptional ballplayer.
