Pete Rose apparently still thinks he has a chance of getting back into the good graces of Major League Baseball:
CINCINNATI (AP) — Pete Rose said his fans would likely be “elated” if baseball reinstated him.
“Everything should be for the fans,” Rose said Tuesday before a preview party celebrating Saturday’s opening of a special exhibit in his honor at the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame. “If they retired my number here, don’t you think the fans would be elated?
“They could send a hit man after me, and I would still be out there trying to sell baseball. My name’s synonymous with baseball.”
Well, Pete, speaking as one person who was a big fan of yours when I was a kid, let’s start with you admitting that you actually did something wrong, maybe then we can think about whether you belong in the Hall of Fame. Right now, my vote is no.
