Quote from: Shen Li on September 30, 2024, 09:37:46 PMBetting against a game he was playing or coaching in. He was kicked out of the baseball hall of fame.

Maybe you didnt mean it this ^^ way but he bet FOR the team he was coaching. He did not bet against the team he was coaching.

He knew the rules and did it anyway. My wife and I got to see him at the Caesars Forum Shops in Vegas signing baseballs saying "I'm sorry I bet on baseball" about 15 years ago and again another time we went. I would have thought they would have lifted the ban by now tho.

I don't care, I'm not a baseball fan. I thought he bet against his team.

Funny enough, I dont like it either for the most part. Seeing Pete Rose was a novelty but I wasnt about to pay for his autograph.

John Amos, who starred as the family patriarch on the hit 1970s sitcom "Good Times" and earned an Emmy nomination for his role in the seminal 1977 miniseries "Roots," has died. He was 84.

Goddamn MLB commissioner is a total douchebag for not letting Pete into the Hall of Fame while he was alive.  It was never proven that Pete had placed bets on the Reds when he was the manager.
