Maybe he wanted to make more money out of the book, so held back the major revelations till then.

This is the last I have to say on the issue because I think I'm the only one who thinks Rose's punishment was a bit harsh.
Not the only one, I've known a few others. Though the longer in time we move from Rose's career it does seem to be fewer people.

I understand the feelings about thinking Rose was punished too much. Though I dont think some (not necessarily you) of his supporters sometimes dont take into account the seriousness of the situation. I have to admit I remember when ROse's future was hanging in the balance. It really tore me up, because I had enjoyed watching Rose play as a kid (albeit his late career) when he was a Phillie. Given what happened just a few days later, I wonder if didnt tear up Giamatti too.
