The Black Sox threw a World Series how in any way can you compare that to legally playing cards in a casino? Pete Rose gambled on baseball which is a clear violation of MLB rules and he deserves his ban from the game. There is no MLB rule that says A-Rod can't play poker at a casino, I'm not saying it's good for the game or his image, but it's his right. If they change the rules it would be different, but I mean come on let people do what they want with their money as long as it is not illegal and doesn't compromise the competition on the field.
