POLL - Rose & Jackson

Jackson took money to throw the World Series. End of story as far as I am concerned. No HOF.

Ross bet on his team to win as a manager. A seasoned investigator could not find more. The rest is speculation. I'd allow the Veterans Committee to vote on him. Personally I'd put him in as a player. He was one of the toughest gamest players I ever saw.

He bet as a player as well. The Dowd report starts with bets in 1985.

Quote:

Peters testified that he took bets from Gioiosa and Pete Rose during the period from late 1984 to late 1986, when he stopped taking Rose's action.[41] He stated that Pete Rose bet on professional football, college basketball, and Major League baseball.[42] He specifically stated that Pete Rose bet on Major League baseball games in 1985, 1986 and 1987, including games played by the Cincinnati Reds while Pete Rose was both a player and manager:

If my child is told they will go to time out for doing something. Then they do it, but because they flip out at the idea of going to time out I don't enforce the punishment I have now opened up the flood gates for that child to take advantage of my rules as well as his/her siblings. The same is true if the commissioner reinstates Rose at this point. You just can't do it because it sets a bad precedence for every rule violator from now on.

I think the sign in every MLB clubhouse says it all. If I had a vote I don't let Rose in.
