It definitely would. Baseball finally gets its first transcendent star in forever, and then bans him for life? Would be catastrophic. Pete Rose was banned when baseball was the most popular sport in America, so from a business view it's wildly different. Now it's well behind the NFL and college football, has been passed by the NBA, and might end up passed by soccer eventually. Just can't see them doing it, which is why the patsy story is out front right now.
