Rose signed balls: “I’m sorry I bet on baseball”
This guy just gets sleezier and sleezier. He lies about betting on baseball for years. Then when he thinks that it will benefit him, he finally admits to it. Not because he was sorry. Because he thought it would help him sell his book and perhaps get him into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
That didn’t work, of course. Because people saw right through him.
Today the story comes out that he signed a bunch of baseballs with the words “I’m sorry I bet on baseball”. His agent says he did it “as a favor”, except that the guys he signed them for are memorabilia dealers who expect to get $1,000 a piece for them (rather than the usual $25-50.
Sorry, buddy. I know you have to do what you gotta do to survive. But I think trivializing something like that for a few extra bucks just makes you sleezy.
