his character is seriously flawed.



There were many posts I could have quoted, but I just chose this since it was the first one. Many people claimed that he "influenced games" and "threw games" because of his gambling. BUT that is completely untrue. He bet on the Reds to win EVERY time he bet. He never bet against them. That is fact, read up on it. If anything, that would only make him manage better and want to win more. His focus would have been on his team winning only. Who cares if he bet on his team to win? Put him in the Hall of Fame.
