Agreed. I would want to see “Shoeless Joe” reinstated and then put in the Hall of Fame before any consideration for that sort of thing is given to Pete Rose.

I agree about Shoeless Joe. He has to e reinstated first. And he won’t be.

Big difference in fixing a World Series and, as Manager, betting on your team to win. Never bet on the Reds to lose, only win.

Notice no mention of Shoeless Joe in this piece, but mention of others and their alleged character flaws (which BTW were mostly invisible to the public) to compare.
And gambling on these games is a crime against the game, whereas being a drunk is not, per se.

You almost make the case for Rose yourself. The Black Sox intentionally threw games. Pete Rose never bet against himself SFAIK.
