Pete Rose passed away today at the age of 82. I didn't care too much one way or the other in the 1980s when his gambling let to his suspension from MLB and his ban from the Hall of Fame. However, forty years later, it certainly does seem odd that a player with statistics that truly put him in his own category was kept out of the hall for gambling...

...when nearly every state operates a lottery to encourage gambling by its citizens, many allow casino gambling in moored barges, many allow online sports betting and many are now beginning to permit onsite sports betting venues. Anything to collect money from the citizenry without collecting taxes required to keep the country from crumbling from underneath our feet.

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.


WTH
