Rose is a low-life and he broke laws (federal and baseball), but he never bet against his own team and he tried to win every game 100-0. That doesn't mean anything to the HOF suits, but it does to me.

When you only bet on your team, it is a signal to gambling insiders that there is a reason to bet against the Reds that day.

One day, Pete left his post in the Reds dugout to watch the Belmont---right in the middle of a game, and during the '89 investigation that led to his banishment!

The Reds, and winning baseball games was a sidelight to Rose's nefarious existence.
