WilliamRose ends up admitting to what everyone has suspected of him..that is he gambled as manager. I will would willing to bet he gambled when he played as well.
Over the past 10-15 years the only people who doubted Rose gambled were the true believers. I have met them and you could have film of Rose placing bets a phone, with a microphone attached it to at home plate at Riverfront stadium for all to hear and the true believers would still say he didn't do it.
A talking head on ESPN or somewhere once mentioned that Leo Durocher was not elected to the Hall of Fame until after he died as result of his suspension in 1947. IF Rose ever gets into the Hall, it will be after his demise. He will never have the opportunity to give an induction speach in Cooperstown.
