It is Baseball's fault (Pete Rose)

Posted By: jay behrens

Tom, the BIG difference betweence Rose and the other players you mentioned is that they didn't do things that would bring serious questions to the integrity of the game (except Cobb. How he and Speaker got off so light is beyond me). So what if he only bet on his team to win. He still bet on his team. And if players and managers are betting on their team, then baseball becomes no better than WWE. It becomes nothing more than "sports entertainment".

I used to buy into the "it's what he did on the field arguement", but realize the folly of my ways because his other on field actions include betting on his team. Sorry, but that's an automatic ouster. I don't care how good you are.
