[QUOTE="dawg, post: 2117038, member: 1402"] Negative, sir. The MLB Rule 21 has been posted in every MLB clubhouse for decades: "Any player, umpire, or club or league official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform [B]shall be declared permanently ineligible[/B]." Spells out pretty clearly what the penalty is for gambling on the game. Rose thought he was bigger than baseball and the above rule didn't apply to him. [URL="http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/08/why-pete-rose-still-cant-be-absolved/378866/"]No one is bigger than the game[/URL].
