If I'm a "neo-nihilist," anyone with a sense of baseball history knows gambling is the mortal sin, explicitly proscribed. PEDs are a fog by comparison.

Also Rose wasn't nearly the player Joe Morgan was.

Gambling was the mortal sin in baseball -- in 1920. I'm not defending betting on baseball, but gambling is no longer an "existential threat" (if you want to call it that) to the game, and hasn't been for decades. Everyone who uses the "but it's posted on every clubhouse wall" defense is paying lip service to outdated rules that nobody got around to updating. The punishment doesn't fit the crime anymore.

Ken Burns on Pete Rose. "Vote him in after he's dead. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but he doesn't deserve to know he's in."

Sort of agree with this.
