I've never heard of that order being posted in every locker room in baseball. But I see it stated in this FR post from last summer.

A rule is a rule and if he made his choice to be banned, I guess that was his choice. I still have no problem with anyone betting on neutral teams or on their own team to win.

The mayors of home towns make a big deal of making bets before the world series. I know that's not the same, but it is betting one baseball and it is telling kids everywhere that betting is ok, even if it is just a barrel of crabs or some real dollars.

I'm admittedly in the wrong according to people a lot smarter than I, but I have no problem with wagers until it is against one's own team.
