>>(August 24, 1989) I lost a world of respect for major league baseball....
>>What makes me sick is this, however: When Pete Rose signed the agreement 
with
>>Bart Giamatti concerning his removal from pro baseball, Rose allowed the
>>situation where he was "banned for life" but could apply for reinstatement
>>after one year.. Had he not, Pete would have been "suspended" for SEVEN 
YEARS
>>no ifs ands or butts (according to his book)..
Don't go off on me.... I think Pete Rose should be in the HOF myself.
But for what he did ON the field. H was and is a jerk OFF the field. And
remember, in your above statement, you are getting his side of a thee
sided argument. Directly from HIS book.
 So, ironically, had Rose just
>>taken the suspension, he would technically be back in baseball right now,
>>instead of just having applied for reinstatement for what?? The third 
me??
Pete has never applied for reinstatement before now.
>>I for one don't think Pete Rose EVER bet on a major league baseball game,
Well, he has already _admitted_ to betting on baseball games. He has
denied ever betting on or against his team.
