I also think MLB Commissioner is trying to be less forgiving than football and basketball. What he did to Bauer for lesser charges appears to be where Franco is headed.

I’m the same way Tim… from Cincinnati and a huge Reds fan. Always thought Rose was scum but he was like a god in the city when I was a kid, and that was after his banishment. I never cared for Rose but had to respect him for the record and what he meant to Cincinnati. I have just continually lost respect for him for all sorts of reasons since he finally admitted to gambling. What’s worse than that though is when I learned he was more-or-less Wander before Wander.

How clear was the evidence against Rose regarding underage girls? I thought it was based on some questionable hearsay only? I know he did admit to a relationship with someone just above the age of consent, which though distasteful to most was not criminal if his version is credited as to her age at the time. But the other stuff about 12 year olds at spring training seemed dubious.
