And was completely screwed by MLB who needs to finally back the fuck off and relent. ESPECIALLY now that every fucking sponsored commercial "the proud sponsor of Major League Baseball" is either booze or an online gambling site. Fucking hypocritical pieces of shit.

As much as I can admire him as a player, as a manager he screwed himself against a commissioner that wanted to flex his power. Rose made the deal to avoid worse consequences, banned for life, but now that life is over. Giamatti was a weak commissioner and used the stupidity of Rose to try to show how tough he was. It may still take a few years for him to get in the HoF, but it’s gonna take some old timer reporters passing to get there.

I'm not a baseball fan, so the only thing I know him from was getting tombstoned by Kane at WrestleMania three years in a row. Heh, i thought it was going to become an annual tradition for awhile. Pete always seemed to have fun and was a good sport about it.

Eh. Baseball had been making overtures that they were willing to welcome him back and then it came out that he committed statutory rape.

For real. Thing is he cost the MLB money that's why they hit him so hard.
