Q&A: Ex-MLB commissioner Fay Vincent on Pete Rose’s passing, Hall of Fame chances, legacy

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of the MLB Wild Card Round. Fay Vincent was Major League Baseball’s deputy commissioner in 1989 when Bart Giamatti banned Pete Rose for life. Do you think baseball’s now embrace of gambling should change any perspective on him, or even the Hall of Fame? I’m going to come clean, I’m going to help you with young people, I’m going to explain why betting on baseball is a bad idea, corruption is stupid.” I think if he’d done that, he would have been in the Hall of Fame a long time ago. So though Rose claimed that he loved baseball and he cared about it, Bart would dismiss that, and say “he couldn’t possibly have loved baseball, because think of what he’s done.” He’s an example now of somebody for whom money came ahead of the lovely wins and losses of baseball.
