As you’ve probably heard, commissioner Rob Manfred officially rejected Pete Rose’s latest application for reinstatement today. Apparently when Manfred and Rose met in September, Rose admitted he still bets on horses and other sports, including baseball. That … seems like a bad idea. There was little chance he would be reinstated anyway, but that clinched it. No sports league in the world can survive the integrity hit that comes with players or coaches gambling on games. Rose may be the hit king, but he’ll never be allowed in the Hall of Fame or back into baseball, and I am totally on board with that.
