I have to disagree with you 100% on this. First off Rose bet on his team to WIN. What's the big deal with this? He thinks he had the best team and bet on them to win. It's not like he's altering the outcome of a game. Soccer games in Europe are bet on all the time, and it is known that owners bet on games. This is way different than fixing a match. Sports and gambling go hand in hand. Now, peds can possibly alter the outcome of a game. If not every player is taking them, then there is an unfair advantage.

im sorry, but that is completely wrong

there is no evidence he only bet on his team to win. no gambler - he has an addiction, after all - is looking to lose money. but let us say that is true

the games he bet on his team to win, that would mean he might leave a starter in longer, bat a certain lineup, use his bullpen heavier. that means that games he didnt bet on would be affected. it absolutely affects the game either way

and let us not forget that the only reason he admitted to it was to sell some more books

he is a filthy liar, a horrible human being, a petulant child, even to this day. he is scum. he makes barry bonds look like the Pope

as for PED use: dont fool yourself - the vast majority of players were on them, one form or another. pitchers and hitters. whether greenies, or cream, or creatine, or whatever

i understand that we, because we are all too young, dont understand why gambling is such as issue in baseball. but if you know baseball history, you know why gambling strikes at the integrity of the game

Gambling or not gambling he is still the all time hits leader, that record cant be overlooked and topps did.

Topps isnt ALLOWED to. it isnt their choice. they cant feature shoeless joe either
