Welcome to the MLB Lemmy.World community!

Rules:

  1. This is a place for baseball fans to discuss anything related to baseball. All posts should relate to the teams, players (past, present, or potential future members), managers, or MLB staff. Posts about MiLB or international leagues are allowed, although ideally should focus on prospects that may join the MLB.
  2. Keep things civil. Criticism of teams, the league, etc. is fine, but this isn't the place to insult fans of a team you don't like. Don't insult other users. Slurs and hate speech are not tolerated, regardless of whether you're talking about users, players, or anyone else.
  3. Follow site-wide rules.

The report Bart Giamatti had must of contained pretty damning evidence for Pete Rose to accept a a lifetime ban to prevent the report from being published. The man had no quit in him, why did he capitulate so easily? My assumption is the details are far worse than just betting on his own team. The report should be published and then, and only then, should the veterans committee vote on hall of fame membership.
