Pete Rose Begs For 1 Last Hall of Fame Chance, One He Absolutely Deserves

Pete Rose has been banned from baseball for life. He is begging for a chance to be allowed to play again. He was banned in 1989 after he bet on baseball as manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

Pete Rose wrote a letter to Rob Manfred asking for forgiveness for betting on baseball. Rose is 81 years old and wants to be considered for the Hall of Fame. He is proud of what he did as a baseball player and manager. He believes in accountability and he wants another chance. The letter was sent to the league office on Monday. It is not clear if Rose threw a game. His previous punishment was 33 years in prison. In the letter, Rose apologizes for his mistakes.

Pete Rose deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. He was a 17-time All-Star, three-times batting champion and the MVP in 1973. Rose broke the rules by betting on the game and was punished with 33 years in prison. The Baseball Hall is supposed to honor the best players. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are not in the Baseball HOF. They used steroids. It's embarrassing for MLB not to have Rose in.

Rose played harder, collected more hits and won more games than anyone else.
