MLB has closed the book on Pete Rose returning to baseball. But should the Phillies honor one of the keys to their World Series title in 1980?
People have strong opinions about Pete Rose.
It's understandable. Baseball's all-time hits king, holding a record that will likely never be broken, gambled on baseball both as a player and manager, and consistently lied to MLB officials about it. He was kicked out of the game, and after petitioning to return, admitted last year to Commissioner Rob Manfred that he still bet on baseball.
It's always all about Pete Rose, and baseball was right to uphold his ban.
