I have been a reporter for 30 years and I think that Jim Gray went too far. He had a right to ask the question once, maybe twice, then he should have dropped it. The time and the place were wrong.

I have not followed the Rose case that closely, but if he gambled, especially on his own teams, the punishment is fit. Based on his record he should be in the Hall of Fame, but apparently he did violate the cardinal rule, and still won't admit it.

The Team of The Century is a sufficient consolation prize.
