I am in Vegas right now and I cannot remember not seeing Pete Rose here signing autographs. It was a running joke with all my friends. Not that Pete Rose was not one of the best ballplayers (and stupidest)to ever lace up a pair of spikes but he just looked so pitiful sitting at the tables signing.

Precious broadcast time wasted when they could be selling something or another.

He’s still pretty sleazy. If the Hall votes him in so be it. But no official roll with MLB
