Pete is and has always been an asshole. He was a major league talent, so it is no surprise that he is a major league asshole.
This ploy may have something to do with time running out on his HOF election, he should be pretty close to being turned over to the veterans committee now... and those guys will NEVER vote him in.
Judge Landis came in with one purpose, no one who bets on baseball or consorts with gamblers will ever play the game baseball again. That's the highest law of the league, and reason for it's present configuration. Player gambling is THE cardinal sin of MLB, it has been since the nineteenth century.
Cooperstown should treat him as they do the Black Sox. Shoeless Joe Jackson's spikes are in the HOF, but Joe isn't. Charley Hustle's record can be in the hall, but he can never have a plaque.
