Guys,

Your right gambling isn't really a moral issue with Baseball. A no gambling rule is a necessity in order to keep baseball economically strong and sound. People have to believe it is a competitive sport in order to remain interested.

If they started believing that the players and the manager were on the take, they would lose interest quickly and the death knell for the sport. Also in a way it makes little sense, for ballplayers and managers to gamble. Your already making millions of dollars in the game, why would you destroy the goose that lays the golden egg.
