| There is no "rehabilitation" for a professional sports player who bets on games in which they play. Pete Rose and pro baseball are not things about which I care much, but it is a matter of principle. |

| I grew up outside Cincinnati and was a huge Reds fan. All he had to do was admit he bet on baseball and his team early on and he would’ve been reinstated and enshrined in the hall of fame. He was a victim of his own conceit and had no one to blame but himself.

Yep. At some point you have to forgive. God forgives, Jesus forgives, but not the MLB. Fuck em. RIP Charlie Hustle. On the field, you were in a very small group of players to ever play the game that includes Ty Cobb.

No freaking way. Look at the size of his head when he was a rookie with the Pirates to the size of his melon as a Giant. Nothing to see here. |

A great for sure...who made some mistakes. Forgive and forget I say.
IIRC, he never bet against his team. He bet they would win...
They never proved he bet against his team. |
