PETE ROSE
Since nobody's asking, here's what I think about the Pete Rose situation:
I think this week in Pete's life should be studied in PR-schools as how not to do stuff. It's pretty freaking amazing that by finally coming out and admitting that he bet on baseball, which the entire world thought would be a very good thing for him to do, he's set back his own cause for reinstatement, probably irreparably.
Sad, because I was a big enough baseball fan at a young enough age to remember Pete Rose, even before his time as a player/manager.
As an aside, I have a memory of watching Joe Garagiola doing a This Week in Baseball game that began with Willie Wilson leading off the game with a home run (perhaps inside the park), and the game ending up a 1-0 Royals win. Who didn't love the late 70s Royals?
