“ nope...they never reinstated Joe Jackson and the other 1919 “Black Sox”....”

Big difference in fixing a World Series and, as Manager, betting on your team to win. Never bet on the Reds to lose, only win.

I don’t believe he never bet against the Reds. I’m sure MLB doesn’t, either. He’s such a compulsive gambler and pathological liar that you can’t accept anything about him at face value.

thats not what i remembered...is that he did bet against his team...he was such a degenerate gambler, you know he had to at some point. Anyway, that cloud was always there...hes banned for life and deserves it.

If you believe that. Remember Pete’s story has changed. At first it was flat denial. Then yes he bet on sports but never baseball. Then yes baseball but never games involving his team. Now he’s settled on yes his team but only to win. Do you really think it’s 3 lies and 1 truth? I he’s 4-0. But in the end it doesn’t matter, lifetime ban. Period.
