It's a shame that you let a classic -- and perhaps the all-time worst -- malingerer in baseball taint your view of the game. The overwhelming majority of players really enjoy the game and it shows in their play and effort levels.
That I have to give Rose credit for: he was a mediocre talent who was able to wring out a very long career of exceeded expectations. I never liked the guys, but did respect that. The gambling on baseball is just unforgivable, though, given the memory of the Black Sox scandal that nearly destroyed the game.
