Baseball and fans remain with the conundrum of what to do about Pete Rose. We don't have HBO, so can't watch this. For all the negativity surrounding Rose, 2 things:

He's the all-time hits leader. Think hard about that.

I'm not saying he was Mr. Nice Guy, but many years ago, when a man I worked with was a kid, his dad took him to a spring training game between the Kansas City Royals and the Cincinnati Reds. They got there early enough to see ballplayers standing around. He got close enough to George Brett to ask him to sign his ball. Brett looked right at him and turned around and ignored him. So they went around to the other side, and sure enough, there was Pete Rose. He asked him to sign his baseball. Sure, kid, I'll sign it. No money was asked for. He showed me the ball. How do you think he feels about Pete Rose?
