Pete Rose is a permanent stain on baseball, which is a dying sport anyhow.

I know it is illogical, but I still cant bring myself to believe that Rose bet against his own ballclub.

Betting on his team to win still will get him suspended for life from baseball, but betting against his team is the stuff of federal investigations..

I would characterize it as being dead. I gave up baseball when they started paying players millions to take three swings and sit down. Taking a family to the park became prohibitive so I stopped. Have not been in many years and no longer follow the sport.

The Commissioners office said they didn't have the necessary funds to pursue a proper rundown of that angle of the investigation

See, you are wrong, baseball is broke.
