They had the longest running joke in WWE where Kane (current mayor of Knox County, TN Glen Jacobs) would catch Pete in the ring, at Pete's home or wherever and lay him out with a Piledriver.
Nashville's not too far off...

Absolutely correct - that is the best approach.
He had the goods on Hillary and the Clinton crime family.
And, his foray with a 15 or 16 year old girl when he was a married 34 year old.
It’s up to the owners to change the rules for reinstatement. Giamatti left that door open. He made the decision most favorable to Rose that he could without ignoring the evidence or the rules.
I’ll admit I’m a bit fuzzy on Hall of Fame vs. eligibility to compete in a game.
We are all disgusting human being, according to God, all has sinned. Have you no mercy?
Afterthought put Shoeless Joe Jackson in. Shoeless Joe, never gambled on or threw a game. He was banned for life because he knew about trammates plans to throw the series, but never participated. A far, far less crime than Rose who bet on games he played in and managed in.
Air travel can be rough on an elderly person with health problems.
The stress helped push him over the edge.
I’m going with thefactor’s answer!
I agree. The part I found most disgusting about the gambling incident wasn't so much that he lied about it, but he also savaged and slandered John Dowd, who gathered the evidence and was proven to be 100% correct. Pete knew Dowd was correct, yet he tried to destroy his reputation at every opportunity for years. To my knowledge, he never apologized to him for that.
Were you looking in the mirror when you were typing that.
He seemed dumb as a friggin board. Like really stupid. But damn if he could hit a baseball.

Bob Feller used to say that with all the rules in baseball, only a handful are posted in EVERY ball club in America and one of them was gambling. No excuse.
Absolutely. So does Shoeless Joe Jackson.
The Hit King. 4,256.
Dear Commissioner Manfred,
I am no longer hanging out with gamblers.
Pete Rose
Every highway I drive on has a posted speed limit too. Most everyone does not obey.
A friend of mine told me a woman he knew in DC had once dated Rose.
Oh wait, Kris Kristofferson just walked in, The Gambler.
