Although Pete Rose was banned from baseball, he wasn’t banned from talking about it, and in 1990 he talked about it a lot on the radio. From the press release as reported by UPI “Cincinnati radio station WCKY announced Friday it has hired Rose as a baseball commentator…Beginning March 19 and continuing through the World Series, Rose will broadcast baseball commentaries on the station at 7:20 a.m. and 4:52 p.m. Rose also will talk about baseball for an hour each Thursday, between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., on the station.”
In 1990 I was an unabashed Pete Rose fan.
