Forget reinstatement for Pete Rose, MLB should finally sever all ties
Pete Rose wants to be reinstated in baseball. He was banned for life in 1989 for betting on Cincinnati Reds baseball games. Rose was honored at the Philadelphia Phillies game in August. He had a sexual relationship with a teenager in 2017. The commissioner Rob Manfred should not reinstate Rose. It's not the same thing as a manager betting. In addition, Rose should never be allowed to take part in team activities. His actions in Philadelphia this summer show why baseball should cut ties with him. They were not sanctioned. There was no question that he was invited to the game. Baseball gave the club permission to invite Rose because he is on the banned list.
