Honestly I believe Jerry could be an excellent bench coach, but after watching years of the lack of passion, dispite all of the different players, I honestly don't believe that his style of management works for anything but a team of superstars.
Once again, these are the rules. Pete Rose knew the rules when he bet on baseball. Plus there is precidence. If Pete Rose is cleared and put in the HOF, then so should Joe Jackson.
Joe Jackson has the 3rd highest career batting average of all time while playing in the dead ball era. He was a master of the triple and an excellent CFer in an era where the mitts and other equiptment was a joke.
