Talk to any baseball fan about Pete Rose — especially those in the vicinity of Ohio or Pennsylvania — and you’ll likely hear how ridiculous it is that Major League Baseball refuses to allow him into the Hall of Fame due to his past gambling. Which makes this Pete Rose Apology Autographed Baseball ($190) a little awesome and a little sad all at the same time. Personally signed by Rose himself and carrying the inscription “I’m Sorry I Bet On Baseball,” its a bittersweet reminder of a man who racked up 4,256 hits while batting .303 and winning three world championships; a man who cemented his legacy as one of the game’s greats before having it tarnished seemingly beyond repair.
