Whether Pete threw games or not is irrelevant. Betting on baseball as a manager is easily the worst thing you can do in terms of its potential impact on the game of baseball. And it's just as bad to bet on the team you're managing as it is to bet on the other guys.
And for the love of god can people stop bringing up Cobb and Speaker. Landis exonerated them both, so what they did is also irrelevant.
There will always be people who want to put Rose into the HoF while the only thing we've determined that he lied about was gambling on baseball. If details about his probable PED usage ever came to light, he'd actually have less support. That's kind of sad.
