I don't think you can parallel Rose betting as a manager after his record was set with Bond's steroid induced HR chase that he will likely reach.

The biggest problem Rose has is his incrementalism. First, (after over a decade of lying) it was betting on sports, but not baseball. Then it was baseball, but not his team. After that, it was for his team, but only to win. Given the track record of lies, he's not credible. We'll probably get the same from Barry down the road. He stands by not "knowingly" taking steroids, for now. That's likely to evolve into...."Well, it wasn't illegal at the time." That's my parallel.

The case against Rose is pretty much surrounding his betting during managing. Thats where the beef baseball brought against him.

With Bonds... the issue is prior to the record being broken and what's worse, is that baseball seems largely uninterested.
