You can't compare Rose's and Jackson's cases. Rose's risk to the game was significantly worse.

Obviously that is matter of opinion.
Cheating is Cheating. It's just a matter of which type of Cheating you condone. Also, how was Rose's risk to the game significanlty worse then those that cheated using the "Juice".
Paul Horning bet on football and was suspended for a year BUT that did not stop him from being elected into the PRO football Hall of fame.
If the Hall is about
CHARACTER then at least 75% of the players already inducted should not be in there.
Also, IMO Shoeless Joe did not "throw" the game and NEVER did take the money. He was an innocent bystander who got caught up in the mess.
