IMO steroid heads were worse. Pete didn’t bet on his own team.

Cobb did. He and Tris Speaker were busted in 196 but Judge Landis swept it under tbe rug because he felt MLB would not survive a betting scandal involving two super stars so recent to the Black Dox scandal

Punishment should fit the crime.

If anyone DESERVES/EARNED the right to be in the hall of fame its Charley Hustle.

Who did he murder? Who did he rape? In baseball, he is a HERO.

The pinnacle of a baseball career is to be voted into the hall of fame. Its not based on your “virtue” but your abilities and accomplishments over your career.

Do we want to look into the personal histories of all hall of famers to see who we should throw out?

Romans 3:23 NIV

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Rose didn’t bet on baseball as a player. He is Mr 4000 and should be in the hall
