After a decade and a half of denials, Pete Rose has finally come clean and admitted to betting "every night" on the team he managed.
No word on whether this will affect his Hall of Fame candidacy, but since the BBWAA (Baseball Writers Association of America, who makes the selections for the Hall) will likely blackball him for the majority of his time on the ballot, such a question is irrelevant, I guess.
Me - I'm a Pete Rose fan, and always will be. But it seems like every time his name slips out of the spotlight for a few months, he has new "revelations" to spring on a public that is probably fairly tired of the shenanigans. But at long last, he's admitted to what most people long suspected. So that's something.

Please note: My policy at Bramble Tamble is to not use real names for private citizens. I hope you will adhere to this policy; hell, it's my only rule here. (But you can use your own real name if you'd like. Cause I'm magnanimous like that.)
