Luhnow and Hinch suspended for a year; subsequently fired

[Larry Schuler]

I haven't seen that - do you have further info. The only thing I saw was an erroneous report on Reddick - what people thought was a patch was actually confetti.

Correct. The Reddick photo was a false case of wire exposure.

Jack McDowell calls out Tony LaRussa

McDowell said La Russa had a camera trained on the catcher’s signs. There was a light in a Gatorade sign in right-center at old Comiskey that was connected to a toggle switch in the manager’s office. McDowell alleges the next day’s starting pitcher was assigned to the manager’s office where he would watch the catcher’s signals and alert the batter through the light in the Gatorade sign

I don't think Baseball wants to cripple any of its franchises. That would be cutting off its nose to spite its face. I don't see it happening and those expectations are out of whack. They aren't going to suspend an entire roster, make team ineligible for a post season and completely wipe out a generation of the future talent pool.
.

I see your point, and I'm not necessarily disagreeing with it.
But as a counterpoint, about 1/3 of the teams now are tanking at any given time and baseball still survives.
Houston was awful for about 5-6 years before they got good, and baseball survived.
If it was up to me, I would not mind penalizing the Astros so harshly that it made it impossible for them to compete for 3-5 years. Another team would win the division instead, life would go on.

Then let's not accept it as factual unless Rose had a chance to defend himself in court, and Dowd was required to produce substantial evidence to prove it. Absent that, it should remain conjecture, rumor, accusation, alleged, but not repeated as a factual story.

Why would he defend himself for something he admitted? He admitted that in the 70's he had a relationship with a underage girl after sheing filed suit. She claims she was 14 or 15, he says she was 16. All the same still adds up to him being a creep.

Other than he admitted it in 2004

For 26 years, Pete Rose has kept to one story: He never bet on baseball while he was a player.

Yes, he admitted in 2004, after almost 15 years of denials, he had placed bets on baseball, but he insisted it was only as a manager.

Never Mind

Pretty sure UPR was referring to the underage girl story

Ahhh my bad.

I remember when Pete met his second wife there was an article I read in SI where he was talking about how great her butt was, seemed somewhat out of place in a sports piece

In other news this week, the late Alex Karras was voted into the NFL Hall of Fame. Karras had admitted to placing bets on NFL games and was suspended by the league, along with Green Bay Packers' running back Paul Hornung, for one season. Hornung is a member of both the NFL and NCAA Hall of Fame.
