Earlier this week, baseball’s hit king Pete Rose asked once again to be reinstated by Major League Baseball and now his campaign has the support of one of the most powerful men in the world — President Donald Trump.
Pete Rose played Major League Baseball for 24 seasons, from 1963-1986, and had more hits, 4,256, than any other player . He gambled, but only on his own team winning, and paid a decades long price. GET PETE ROSE INTO THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME. It’s Time! Even if Rose were to be reinstated by MLB — which seems like a longshot — he wouldn’t automatically be sent into Cooperstown. The Hall of Fame would have to un-ban him too, and then allow him to be voted on. Either the Baseball Writers Association of America would vote on Rose like it does other players, or he’d go on a veterans committee ballot.
Rose’s latest appeal to MLB is connected to the Houston Astros cheating scandal. His legal team is arguing that if Alex Cora, A.J. Hinch, Jeff Luhnow and others connected to the scandal aren’t going to be banned from baseball, then Rose’s ban is unfair. It’s comparing apples to oranges a bit because betting on baseball and cheating aren’t the same thing, but it’s nonetheless a debate worth having if you’re a baseball fan.
realDonaldTrump One crook helping another crook.
A cheater endorses a cheater? Sounds on-brand.
I would expect nothing less from the pathological liar! 🤥
Pete Rose should be inducted. (long before the Astros got caught cheating)!
There goes Pete's chances....

It takes one to know one.
