Excellent point. Neither Mantle or Mays were never even remotely alleged to have gambled on baseball games. Their only "crimes" were that they were hired to be greeters at casinos well after they retired from MLB. Wear a sport coat, greet patrons of the casino, sign autographs, etc. For this they were banned from baseball for life.
