The problem was that Rose never cooperated with the investigation and lied lied lied for ten years until he wanted to sell a book. I lived in Philly when Rose helped us win our 1st championship ever in ‘80 (Phillies started in 188?)! And in San Francisco for Barry. Enjoyed all of the madness, but…
I wasnt passing judgement on him. But rather saying from a baseball HOF standpoint, what he did was less offensive. HOFs put in scumbags.
Gambling USED to be very forbidden in baseball. Now they’re partnered with FanDuel🙄 The problem with the hall is that even if you have the stats, real humans with feelings can vote against you. Hardly anyone was unanimous. Barry has the most homers. No one who beat Aaron’s homer record is there.
