I have a friend who is quite wealthy (not billions but certainly millions). I asked him why people like CEO's etc continue to work when they have more money than they could possibly need. He said the money is just a way to keep score. And everyone likes to win the game right?

Betting against your own team while managing and playing first base? Yeah, no way you can influence the game. None whatsoever.

the Dowd report shows that there was/is no evidence that Pete bet AGAINST his team. he bet ON his team to win lots of times. but i don't see that as a terrible thing.Betting against your own team while managing and playing first base? Yeah, no way you can influence the game. None whatsoever.

I think "Trumpism" will be up there with "McCarthyism" as ominous words of warning for a while.

If I did, and it was against the rules, and explicitly so, and if everybody knew it was against the rules, then I wouldn't expect them to suspend the rule for me because I'm special…

Goody two shoes , rules follower!

Yep.
Not necessarily. Just apparently not expecting to be treated specially if caught.

So it only matter when one breaks baseball rules, but wait....there are rules prohibiting the use of PEDs and recreational drugs......Not necessarily. Just apparently not expecting to be treated specially if caught.

There are rules now. There weren't rules prior to 2005. So Rose and his cronies couldn't be blacklisted for taking greenies.
