Has admitted in his new book coming out and in an interview on Thursday that he DID bet on baseball.
Him being my favorite player of all time, I feel he should be allowed into the Hall of Fame for his PLAYING accomplishments only.
I also feel he should NOT be allowed back into baseball in any capacity. He lied until he was blue in the face vehemently denying that he never bet on baseball. And now he comes clean? Seems shady to me. Is he after something or did he honestly have an epiphany and wants to do right?
If Selig does in fact reinstate him, should Shoeless Joe Jackson be exonerated from the White Sox scandal back in 1919? Apparently he had nothing to do with the fixing of those games but was banned for life because he was a part of the team.
Will this open up a floodgate now if he is reinstated?
