Pete Rose bet on games that not only did he play in but also managed. He had direct control over the games.
deserving, but one of the most overrated players of all time. Because he was Pete Rose he was able to hang on WELL past his prime to break a record. In 6 of his last 7 years he was a FAR BELOW league average player with a -119 RAA.
