Banned Baseball Player Pete Rose Is Gleaming With Joy That He’s No Longer The Scapegoat. Happy Days Are Here Again…

You bet on baseball? Who cares. Guys were cheating by injecting drugs into their ass cheeks and getting away with it for decades. It was only a matter of time until legendary cheat-a Pete Rose spoke on the recent steroid debacle revealed in the “Mitchell Report” (we should be doing shots every time we mention this). Rose cited that he would have had 5,000 hits if steroids were around when he was playing, but he’s gleaming with joy now that he’s not the only tenant in the baseball dog house.

“I never thought anybody would make me look like an altar boy,” Rose said.

We never knew you dreamed of being an altar boy, Pete. But we have to agree. If a few Benjamins put Rose in the baseball slammer for life, then maybe Bud Selig should look into banning, let’s say, Roger Clemens for life. What do you think Pete?

“I’ve been suspended 18 years for betting on my own team to win,” he added. “I was wrong … but these guys today, if the allegations are true, they’re making a mockery of the game.”
“If you’re going to put these guys that supposedly did steroids into the Hall of Fame, I mean I’ve got to get a shot somewhere,” he said.

There’s definitely room in the basement. And if not, then at least you’ll have company in the “most hated baseball players” list that’s out there somewhere. We here meetings take place at a TGIF in Sacramento.
