Pete Rose bet on his own team to win. Not sure that's cheating. It's more of a PR problem due to past players throwing games for money. As far as I know no one has even hinted that Rose was involved in throwing games, just being stupid.

But conduct plays a role whether you like it or not. And TO rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and there are consequences for that. Not being a 1st ballot nomination is not that unusual. Players needs to be tip top all around to earn 1st ballot honors.
