My beef with Baseball is that they can forgive drugs, steroids, they can forgive spitting in an Umpires face, but they cant give Pete Rose what is due him.

Your argument is somewhat valid as baseball has a number of ills it needs to cure.

However, those ills compared to Rose betting on games is like the difference between viewing porn and actual adultery.

Rose receives his due every time someone pays for his autograph.

Fans receive their due when Rose and others who denigrate the game, its traditions and records are denied HOF credentials.
