Stop smoking that shit.
He called other managers to ask them how he thought their pitchers looked that night. I'm sure he bet on teams other than the Reds using this information. That is a betrayal of your friends as well as a failure to uphold the integrity of the game.
And I bet he bet on games when he was a player too. The guy was a scumbag. I wouldn't have a problem if they allowed him to be voted on for the hall (and he might not even make it if they do), but he shouldn't be allowed in a ballpark and I don't want to hear his induction speech as it will be the biggest, steamiest, piece of crap in the history of the world.
Did you see his interview last night? He feels like he was wronged even though he fucking signed an agreement saying he agreed to be banned and that he couldn't be involved. He wasn't supposed to confirm or deny and he spent the next 14 years denying it to anyone who would put a microphone in his face. He should be permanently banned for just that.
Fuck him.
