I think that's the point elocs was making; other prople, not the cheaters (Rose and Jackson) themselves.

I'm not enough of a baseball fan to have a strong opinion about the ban being lifted. But I don't have a problem with somebody making money by selling something other people want to own. Capitalism's crimes are many, and that doesn't even make the top 10,000, afaic.
