Pete Rose bet on baseball, he shat on the game, close the book on the
son of a bitch.

I couldn't agree more. I'm apalled by the sympathetic attention Rose's
confession seems to be receiving. If I follow the story line, Rose was
kicked out of baseball for betting on the game, something he has repeatedly
denied in the ensuing years. Now, years later, he confesses. From where I
stand, this not only re-validates the grounds for his banishment, but adds
being a chronic liar to his list of offenses. I'm mystefied as to why
anyone would consider this grounds for reinstatement.
