MLB is still banning players for betting on baseball, even this season, multiple players, one permanently.
MLB has lots of rules, but Rule 21 is specifically in every single MLB clubhouse.
It's kinda crazy we live in a world where there's more professional sports leagues than ever to bet on and baseball players still choose to break the barrier of the one thing that's specifically printed out and displayed in every home and away clubhouse in the game.
They can go Michael Jordan style in all the casinos they want. They can bet their entire paycheck on football or basketball or curling or synchronized swimming in any legally approved market/venue if they want.
There's one thing off-limits and it's been clearly stated for many decades. They walk by this reminder a few hundred times a year.
