Brewtown Politico

Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

1.06.2004

Former Milwaukee Brewer Paul Molitor has been elected to baseball's hall of fame, it was announced today. As one who grew up watching Molitor in the 1980s, I couldn't be happier for him.

Pete Rose, on the other hand, continues to get under my skin. After all these years, he's coming clean about betting on baseball. Some may say it's no big deal that he did (don't forget the reason for the zero tolerance policy was the "Black Sox" travesty of the 1919 World Series).

Anyways, for Pete Rose apologists, keep this in mind. The guy wouldn't admit to gambling on baseball for years, and continually played himself off as a martyr who was being persecuted by Major League Baseball. Rose is an egomaniac, and the only reason he's telling the truth now is that he has a book coming out.
