Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth weren't exactly the Virgin Mary.

They didn’t do what Rose did… namely betting on baseball which is the biggest no the game has. Not only did he bet on games, he bet on games his team was playing in, and even after being caught red handed, he lied about it for 20 years before finally admitting the truth.

Rose still has all his records… he’s in the record books. But he does not deserve the honor of the Hall of Fame.

I used to agree with you. But sports gambling is legal now.
