Pete also had one of the best runs in baseball card history

betting on baseball was against the rules and wrong.

But in 2024 with everyone of these leauges in bed with sports betting....and even if they weren't who deserves a lifetime ban over sports betting?

Like I've said on NT before, it's romanticizing a league built on spitballs, pine tar, corked bats, segregation, and known domestic violence.

Had Pete Rose admitted to gambling on games when he got caught in 1989, instead of waiting 15 years (and writing a book about it), he would've been reinstated in the early 90s and voted into the Hall of Fame.

R.I.P.

I don’t think that would have necessarily been the case.

2nd pitcher ever to lead the league in K's for 3 different teams, after Nolan Ryan, and about to add a CY

Don't think he could've dreamt of a better twighlight after everything he went through these last few years
