Did you know that in UK, there are kiosks right in the soccer stadiums where you can bet on that day's games, righ tnext to the hot dog stands (or whatever the British equivalent is, probably boiled kidneys on a stick)? Did you know that sometimes players that are feeling particularly lucky or cheeky will use these stands to bet on themselves to do something spectacular moments before gametime? It just amazes me how different the sports gambling culture is here and there.
In all seriousness, Pete Rose is only relevant because he isn't/can't get in the HOF. If he gets in, it'll be a big deal for a while, and no one will care shortly thereafter.
The more my grandfather's dementia took hold, the more arrogant he'd become. He was always yelling at me for leaving him at freeway rest stops. Whatever. Dude always found a way home.
If the BBWAA starts sending gamblers and steroid users to Cooperstown we're going to need a new name for the place. Something catchy, like Hall of Embarrassment or Hall of Disgrace.

Aaron and two prominent former teammates of Rose (guess who?) have been lobbying Selig on his behalf
You guessed it.
