    Anyone take bets on when he’d die? I’m sure he did.

    Pete Rose was a hell of a baseball player. I grew up watching him. One of a kind. Unfortunately he was addicted to gambling. Denied it until the book or memoir that he wrote in 2004 he finally owned up to betting on baseball while he was the Reds manager, although he Claimed he never bet against his team. In 2015 I believe it was they reviewed letting him back into baseball and to be admitted into the Hall of Fame, but at that time he admitted to the commissioner that he was still betting on baseball, even though at that time it was legal. Because he was no longer a manager or player. He was denied. Rose was an intense dude and part of that side of him lead to his addiction to gambling. He paid dearly for it. But his play on the field will always be remembered. Personally think he should be in the hall of fame, at least with an asterisk.
