About time. HOF shouldn’t be a moral compass. They were kings of industry on the Diamond. IDGAF about their flaws. I bet most people in most sport HOFs have checkered shit.

Far worse than gambling on games he managed is the inarguable evidence that Rose was a pederast.

I didn't follow Pete that closely but woah I didn't know that.

Manfred waited till Rose passed, so he (Pete) couldn't profit off his HOF status.
Seems kind of shitty, but then again Pete was a pretty shitty guy, so 'meh'. HELL of a baseball player, though! |

Pete was getting his gambling money by signing autographs at Caesars Palace.

I don't know anything about baseball history, but if the guy couldn't afford shoes, then maybe he had a justifiable reason for taking payoffs.

And the greatest of all time, Barry Bonds, still won't get in to that joke HOF.
