CALENDAR GAMES

Looking at the calendar, it didn’t appear this was any April Fool’s joke. Derek Zumsteg and Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus are reporting the MLB is about to allow Pete Rose back into baseball.

Just when you thought Kaiser Selig couldn’t do anything stupider.

Rose has been given some sort of evangelical shroud since the new century dawned upon us. People seem to forget this man is a convicted felon…for gambling of all things.

Rose has been quoted as saying he has lost $30 million by being kept out of the Hall of Fame. Yah. Right. Nobody on the face of the earth has profited more from Pete Rose’s suspension than Pete Rose. Rose has made millions because of his persona non grata status. Much more than if he were simply another Hall of Famer.

A few million people just lost respect for MLB.

Dodger John has an interview with Will Carroll at John's Dodger Blog.

Does everyone forget that Rose was nailed by the Feds after getting booted from baseball or are we alone?
