There is also no denying, 31 years after Sports Illustrated revealed that he had gambled on his own team multiple times over multiple seasons, that he is one of the most controversial. Mike and Bill go through the tumultuous downfall of Rose and his many fruitless attempts to get back into the game following his permanent banishment. Plus, happy birthday to Mike Smith and Clyde Milan!
