Pete Rose is a liar and a cheat.
He first said he didn't gamble on baseball at all.
Then he eventually said her bet on baseball but not on his own games.
He said that many times.
Then he eventually came out and said yes, he bet on his own games but didn't influence the outcome for $$$. he's still lying. He threw games for money.

If lying and cheating are caracter qualities you admire .....well...............
Let's just say I strongly disagree. He deserves no admiration at all.

I'd rather see a mediocre ball player of high character in the hall of fame than a better ball player who has no morals.
