And I don't consider Pete Rose "the best player of all time" like many others do. I'd have a very hard time placing him in the top 20 in all actuality.

However, Rose bet in favor for his team, and did not alter lineups or make strategic moves to cause them to lose intentionally. There is 0 evidence of him betting against his team. His bookie even came out in testimony stating he did not bet against his team. Rose also didn't cork his bat or "allegedly" use steroids.

Oh, and... his transgressions.... happened while he was a manager, not a player.

Fair enough, but you act like this stuff doesn't happen all the time. Players have always cheated. And always will. I don't see why we treat them so terribly when they are trying to help their teams win. Mickey Mantle cheated, Hank Aaron cheated, Sandy Koufax cheated, Willie Mays supposedly cheated. Everyone was doing them, to not do them would have made them look worse. They were trying to keep up with the pace. I really think that you are overreacting about all of this.

Dayum! Stanton killed that ball. Almost like when Aramis hit the train tracks in Houston. I still love that HR. Wonder how far it went.
