Betting on baseball compromises the integrity of the game. It evokes the possibility that what you are watching is fixed, merely theater. Just look how gambling has ruined boxing.

Pete Rose's actions are inexcusable and he does not deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, and neither does Shoeless Joe Jackson. And by the way, Rose is the most overrated player in the history of the game. He was a .290 hitter with no power.
