[quote=JGKAMIN]As good as can be expected when you willingly sign a plea agreeing to a lifetime ban. Just my opinion, but I think he signed that because there is so much more to it than we know. He always denied the charges, buy the book. Then when he needed to market another book he admitted some. I think there’s more waiting to be told, guess we’ll need to wait for the next book to come out.
Just last week he was allowed back for a reunion of the 1980 Phillies and if it wasn’t his inappropriate comments while on the broadcast it was the story of him back in the day with a very young teen.[/quote]
Don’t remember the show/documentary (probably an ESPN offering) was there was a quid pro quo between him and B. Giamante where he would sign and after he stood in the corner wearing the cone of shame, Bart would let him back in for HOF voting.
Bad luck for Pete when Bart dropped dead.
He bet on baseball. It brought back the story of the 1919 Black Sox, which smeared MLB’s image. They pretty much had to go with the nuclear option.
