Talk:Barry Bonds's Place in Baseball's Pantheon/@comment-101807-20060316123149

There is a very old rule saying that any player or manager who bets on baseball will be banned for life. It existed well before Pete Rose even started playing the game. Rose bet on baseball. Rose is banned for life. Is it fair? I&quot;m abivalent. Should a grown man be expected to face the consequences of breaking an established rule? Absolutely. There was no rule against steroid use in baseball -unless you count the one passed by the US government.
