MLB hits king Pete Rose is suing the man who is partly responsible for his banishment from baseball, as the former Cincinnati Reds superstar alleges that he was defamed in a radio interview.
According to Mark Scolforo of the Associated Press, Rose is suing attorney John Dowd for saying that one of the former Reds manager's associates claimed that Rose raped underage girls during spring training.
The interview took place last year on WCHE-AM in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and Rose's lawsuit states that the allegations damaged his reputation and limited his endorsement opportunities.
