Ha ha, that's pretty funny. I guess he can only joke about it at this point. Baseball is so screwed up at this point they look like the biggest idiot hypocrites by not allowing him in the Hall of Fame.

It will never happen, nor should it in my opinion. He gambled on games involving his own team while he was their manager. Baseball still has its integrity when it comes to gambling issues.

I thought he never bet on a game he was involved with?

And lied about it after being caught.

Well I knew he lied about it and then confessed, but never knew he did on his own team's games.

As far as that is concerned, as long as there is no proof of fixing a game, I think you have to forgive something of that nature. It didn't pad any of his playing stats or the effect he had on the game. There is a lot dirtier stuff going on right now in the game than this. Baseball may have some integrity, but I think they just toto their horn in that aspect to sound good than they really uphold.
