Ross bet on his team to win as a manager. A seasoned investigator could not find more. The rest is speculation. I'd allow the Veterans Committee to vote on him. Personally I'd put him in as a player. He was one of the toughest gamest players I ever saw.

He bet as a player as well. The Dowd report starts with bets in 1985.

Peters testified that he took bets from Gioiosa and Pete Rose during the period from late 1984 to late 1986, when he stopped taking Rose's action.[41] He stated that Pete Rose bet on professional football, college basketball, and Major League baseball.[42] He specifically stated that Pete Rose bet on Major League baseball games in 1985, 1986 and 1987, including games played by the Cincinnati Reds while Pete Rose was both a player and manager:

If my child is told they will go to time out for doing something. Then they do it, but because they flip out at the idea of going to time out I don't enforce the punishment I have now opened up the flood gates for that child to take advantage of my rules as well as his/her siblings. The same is true if the commissioner reinstates Rose at this point. You just can't do it because it sets a bad precedence for every rule violator from now on.
