Back in the day, before the drugs – domestic violence in sports that we know of, and without TV coverage that we have today, maybe it was happening, who knows?

But who I am writing about is about Pete Rose, who was a very good baseball player. But I never liked him.

In the time, he was too aggressful (sic). But his crime was he bet money on baseball games. so he was banned from baseball for life. What a joke that would be today.

Today, you have cheaters – New England Pats. You have dozens of repeated drug players in football and baseball. A little fine and a couple of weeks they can’t play. They make millions of dollars and they do care less.

The banish for life on Pete Rose should be lifted right now! And we all know why these scumbag players don’t get banned for life. It’s money – greed on every club – baseball and football.

It will be a cold day in Hell if any of these sports teams will wait for me to go to a game, and never, ever on TV.

Back in days of the Babe – Joe Dimaggio – Ted Williams maybe not perfect – but definitely not a bunch of sick scumbags.
