To me this statement means Rose absolutely bet against the Reds at times and tried to throw some to earn some green.

Wow...what a leap that is! Whatever Rose did or didn't do, unless they prove that he threw games...not just bet on them...I think he belongs in the HOF. How can you have a HOF and not include the all time hit leader, a guy who played the game with such passion? The HOF isn't about personality, it's about performance...Ruth wasn't exactly the All-American boy and where should I start with Cobb?? This is another case of punishing a guy for his personality and things he MAY have done...if there is no proof...he belongs in the HOF...same with Bonds when the time comes! Prove he used steroids etc and then it's a different story!
