Pete’s an interesting character. Always gave 110% but never should’ve bet baseball. I think it’s long overdue… give the guy some slack now. It’s long enough.

I always, always, ALWAYS hated Pete Rose. I never understood the appeal—a complete jerk from the beginning. Thanks for highlighting his unrelenting self-pity; it goes back farther than I’d even realized.

Betting is like prohibition. It was illegal & now it's on TV, social media, etc., point is you can't get away from it. Still not saying he's betting on his own team was legal but it's time to forgive & forget. What do they want from him... clean the streets to teach him a lesson? I'm pretty sure he's learned.
