This guy is unbelievable. He still sets up a tent and sells his own memorabilia at HOF induction ceremonies, and ANY chance he gets he tries to get a tiny peice of the spotlight to plead his case for inclusion in the hall of fame.
Now he's chimed in on the steroid scandal...
I never thought anybody would make me look like an altar boy, Rose said.
Ive been suspended 18 years for betting on my own team to win, he added. I was wrong ... but these guys today, if the allegations are true, theyre making a mockery of the game.
Rose was banished from baseball for life in 1989 for betting on games while he was manager of the Cincinnati Reds, his former team. He denied the gambling allegations until 2004, when he came clean in his autobiography. He is not eligible for the Hall of Fame.
If youre going to put these guys that supposedly did steroids into the Hall of Fame, I mean Ive got to get a shot somewhere, he said.
Rose finished with 4,256 hits, breaking Ty Cobbs career record.
"Rose he knows he's such a credit to the game But the Yankees grab the headlines every time"
