Pete Rose assembled the media today at the Pete Rose Bar and Grill in Las Vegas to address the MLB denying his reinstatement, and man, things got interesting real quick.
From Mark Rosenbaum (Pete’s lawyer) aggressively spelling out his name to Pete thinking he should be the commissioner of baseball, pretty much the entire thing was gold.
