Jackson was a one off at a time when players, especially on the White Sox, were not compensated fairly. Rose bet on games he played in, coached in (and no betting on his own team doesn't make it ok for numerous reasons) despite the fact he not only knew it was wrong, but flagrantly violated baseball's most sacred rule for years. He is an unrepentant thug who used the Charley Hustle bullshit ( a moniker bestowed by Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle as a putdown) to enhance his value to fans. A miserable human being all around, but hey trumpers and dump love him. Why do you?
