Nixon on baseball’s continuing its ban of Pete Rose.
In the wake of a request for reinstatement by baseball great Pete Rose, the Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred turned down the request.
Apparently, the commissioner has no interest in being hustled by “Charlie Hustle.”
In turn, the commissioner upheld Major League Baseball’s tradition of zero tolerance on players or other important employees of major league teams betting on major league games dating back to the 1919 Chicago Black Sox Scandal.
As always, Dick Nixon’s take on events was both far more nuanced and thoughtful as well as follows.

I think Rose should be in the Hall of Fame. But you don’t want him around young players, either.

I once met a fellow wearing a shirt that said, “I’m With Pete — Give Me $200 on the Reds.”

It wouldn’t have been difficult for Rose to make a better play. Don’t live in Las Vegas. If you have to bet, use a proxy.

@dick_nixon Don’t expect to see Rose in the Hall until after he is planted in the ground.
