And Now, a Little Gambling Irony from Pete Rose
The Cincinnati Reds wanted to honor Pete “Banned for Gambling” Rose on the 25th anniversary of the day he became baseball’s all-time hit leader. They even got special permission from Major League Baseball to do so.
Pete Rose and a Corked Bat
This long tale from Deadspin is all about a collector who has a bat that once belonged to baseball bad boy Pete Rose. The bat comes from the 1985 season, when Rose was chasing baseball’s hit record.
