The bookies will then look at the days he doesn't bet on his team to win, and suppose that Rose won't put in his best effort, or doesn't believe, given his inside information, his team will win. Do that in the stock market, and they call it insider trading and you go to jail. MLB has it's own penalty, and it's been imposed on Rose.
Back to original topic. There's a certain level of creme-de-la-creme to being a first ballot HoFer. So be it. The writers don't seem to like putting "also rans" in with the big guys. So next year, with no shoe-ins, the also rans will get their due. I guess that's how the game is played.
