I'm sure the youth that prefer NBA, etc would see the light and tune in to 100+ 4 hour games if they only put a guy they've barely heard of in the HOF.

Baseball shouldn't lose weight just to be more attractive to young people. Baseball should lose weight to be healthier.

Meh, NBA is suffering, too. ESPN basketball ratings are down 28%. Most analysts blame the same issues that afflict Baseball. Too many games, too many players hopping from team to team, serious salary cap problems, too much social justice not enough action, etc…

I completely understand betting is a 3rd rail in baseball especially, but also never understood why people were so outraged about betting on your own team.

Camel’s nose under the tent and impossible to confirm. With sports book they probably could now, but book will inevitably lead to scandal anyway. Stay clear.

Nobody believed those were the only bets.

And as manager you can hurt your team today to help you win tomorrow, for example you can take a reliever out of a game to save his arm for a game you bet on tomorrow.

Yeah good point

The HOF is for what you do on the field.

Pete has long had a display at Cooperstown, so the HOF has made money off of his NIL and bat.

Put him the rest of the way in.

He was on the field when he made the bets, that was the problem.

I'm happy we can all rest easy that Brady and Belichick will never sniff the hall of fame in their sport.

So they’re recognizing him but with an asterisk. Seems appropriate.
