Pete Rose has finally admitted that he bet on baseball games while employed as manager of the Cincinnati Reds, an infraction that produced a lifetime ban from the sport in 1989. Rose\u2019s admission of guilt in his autobiography in 2004 came after almost fifteen years of denying wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
He has not stopped confessing. In September 2006, Rose began using his website to personally apologize to each fan he had failed or offended. For only $299 (plus $4.95 for shipping and handling), Pete Rose will send you an autographed baseball that reads, \u201cI\u2019m sorry I bet on baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n
The marketing copy on the website says: \u201cNow you can get the baseball collectible everyone\u2019s talking about\u2014Pete Rose\u2019s personal apology for betting on baseball, newly inscribed on an actual baseball\u2014at a fantastic price.\u201d<\/p>\n
