[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4336502, member: 26737"] I used to think it was a travesty, but it’s really not. It’s not like he violated some arcane unwritten rule of baseball, he violated a cardinal rule, Rule 21, one that’s so important to baseball that the MLB requires it to be posted in every MLB clubhouse. It might as well have been carved on Moses’s tablets; if you gamble on baseball, you’re out. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, you’re just out, and every big league player knows it. Here’s MLB Rule 21: [URL unfurl="true"]http://content.mlb.com/documents/8/2/2/296982822/Major_League_Rule_21.pdf[/URL] I do think MLB showed him some grace by allowing him to be associated with MLB games later in his life (namely, appearing on broadcasts), and I wish that they had allowed him to go into the HoF while he was still alive, but he knew what the penalty was when he decided to play the game—and now every player who hits the big leagues knows that MLB means it when they say no gambling on baseball. Anyway, RIP, Charlie Hustle. [/QUOTE]
