Rose seeks to be baseball’s ‘friend’

Pete Rose believes he still has a chance to one day get back in baseball. In the meantime, he is turning his attention to the Hall of Fame.

Rose, 74, said Tuesday he is a changed person, even if he still likes to bet on an occasional baseball game. And while commissioner Rob Manfred rejected his bid to get back in the sport partly because Rose still bets legally in Las Vegas, the all-time hits leader says he still has a lot to offer.
