I think there’s generally a lot more forgiveness for cheating to gain competitive advantage than there is trying to groove games.
And in games Pete rose didn’t bet he wasn’t trying to win those games. |

Never had much respect for Rose after he broke Fosse's leg on an aggressive slide at home in a freaking all-star game.

Tony Gwynn once stole more than 50 bases in a season. You'd win a lot of bar bets with that fact.
I'm betting nobody would ever believe you if you told them that he stole 100 more bases than Pete Rose. And he won several gold gloves in his prime as well. Tony Gwynn was a FAR superior player to Rose. It's not even close, IMO. He did literally everything better than Rose did at their respective peaks. |

This is the most excitement baseballs seen since the Mcguire Sosa race, of course they will sweep it under the rug. The scandal itself just adds to the lore. Plus this is way more coverage than they would have gotten otherwise.

Since he doesn’t play for the Royals, I think he’s guilty and should go to prison
