Steroids are not worse than you betting on games you can effect a change upon.

Yes he should be let back in. ONLY for the purposes of HOF. Should still be banned from having a manager or ANY position on a staff.

I could go with the opposite. He brought shame so far, so no HOF. However, he can try to redeem himself through his actions now, which can be monitored.

For his play on the field and the amount of hits he had he should be in the HOF. 4000 hits is unheard of.

For his gambling, there is no place in any sport for that and the way he handled it should keep him banned for life even though I don't think he did anything with the Reds to affect the outcome. I think he just liked betting period and was addicted to gambling. The perception though as a manager is too much to ever let him back into MLB for any purpose.

I'm on board with this. He should be in the HOF IMO.
