Here's my thing w/ Pete Rose. He admitted to gambling on baseball games and even on Reds games that he managed. However, he bet FOR his team, not against it. I don't see how betting for the team you have input in is damaging the integrity of the game? Now, had he bet against the Reds while he was their manager, case closed, he never gets to the Hall of Fame. But to not have the all-time hits leader and one of the greatest players in the history of baseball not in the Hall of Fame is silly.
