That's exactly what I said. There was evidence he bet on his own Team as a Manager, He later admitted it in 2004. But there was never any evidence he threw a game.
the charges of wrongdoing included claims that he bet on his own team.....After years of public denial, Rose admitted in 2004 that he bet on baseball and on the Reds.
Paul Hornung was banned from the NFL for a year for betting on Football. Along with Alex Karras. This was in 1963. So it's not a first. Hornung is in the Hall of Fame. Rose crossed the line when he bet his own Team.
