I'm a huge Pete Rose fan growing up 2 hrs north of Cincinnati, they were THE team in our area. I was around 10-12 years old when the Big Red Machine was in full swing, they were talented across the entire roster.
I used to pay attention to all the drama around his betting, decades of denial before finally admitting it. That part of Rose does not make me a fan of his personality, but somebody got all those hits. I know there was proof he bet on the Reds while he was with them, does anyone know if there is proof that he ever bet against the team he was playing for or managing? I get the "rule" of no betting on baseball, but the entire intention is to prevent you from "throwing a game". Any proof Rose ever did that?
He should be in the HOF.
