i was listening to mike and mike on espn radio this morning when they discussed rose. they gave some very valid reasons why rose did NOT belong back in mgmt with a team, or in the HOF. i have a hard time believing he bet EVERY game--but then, i can't believe so many people are amazed that he admitted betting on his team-i always thought it had been established.
he broke the rules of baseball, i don't care how many hits he got, he tarnished his own image-no one did it for him. he should not have bet, certainly should not have bet on his own team. he has to say he bet them EVERY time. but after years of denying so much of what he now admits to, how the heck knows what to believe from him.
the hall of fame is still just that without him in it. i don't think baseball will feel the lack if he never gets in.
