Pete’s confession
So now, after all this time of denying that he ever bet on baseball, Pete Rose is confessing his sins against baseball.
Baseball’s all-time hit leader bet on baseball while he was managing the Reds. However disappointing this may be, we really kinda knew it happened.
What do you think this does for Pete, his standing in the baseball world, in the baseball record books or as a man? Why now, after all these years, give in and admit you bet on baseball Pete?
Whatever you believe, it’s all major publicity for his upcoming book. Was that the motivation for giving in? I guess we’ll find out Pete’s side of the story soon…looks like he has a tv interview sometime this Thursday.
Will baseball, and more importantly, the Commissioner forgive him? Stay tuned…
