So, yeah, stick a casino right next to a baseball stadium? Capital idea. And he never will as long as MLB stands by the lifetime ban. The man who finished with 4,256 hits still doesn't have a plaque in the Hall of Fame. They caught him betting on games during his managerial career. And if you don't believe it, just ask the game's greatest hitter, Pete Rose. As a result, gamblers face baseball's stiffest punishment - permanent banishment. People want assurance that the games are on the up-and-up. Players and managers gambling cuts into the game's credibility. It's right there between "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not ignore thy third base coach's bunt sign." More than steroids, more than HGH, more than corked bats, baseball sees gambling as the be-all and end-all of evil, for good reason. There was an even more serious concern, though, and it goes to baseball's 10 commandments. It may or may not come to fruition, but at least the possibility is there. It may just be a matter of time before that situation reverses itself, however, as the state legislature is considering a constitutional amendment to allow such things.
For one thing, the Vegas-style table gambling Wilpon and Katz were looking for isn't legal in New York. There were just a couple of problems with that.
