Pete Rose was managing games that he had a financial stake in. And he's also managing games outside of the games he was betting on differently than the games he'd put money on.Let's not rehash the argument. Guys who cheated for a performance edge and changed the outcome of games are not the same as guys who merely profited off the outcome of games.
Same with the two-wrongs-don't-make-a-right argument. Greenies and the occasional snoot don't result in the same sort of inflated stats such as Brady Anderson and Barry Bonds engaged in.
There are already cheaters who cheated to inflate their numbers in the Hall. Gaylord Perry and Whitey Ford are there, and everyone in the league knew they got there in part because of doctored baseballs.
Rose can go fuck himself.
