Pete Rose Invites Dennis Miller to a Stone Thowing Party From His Glass House

Don't ya just love when people who have stained the game in the past come back to wag their finger at players in the present? Well, that' s exactly what happened when Pete Rose taped an appearance on Sports Unfiltered With Dennis Miller, which will air on Versus Wednesday night, discussing among other things, the Mitchell Report.

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

Rose was banished from baseball for life in 1989 for betting on games while he was manager of the Cincinnati Reds, his former team. He denied the gambling allegations until 2004, when he came clean in his autobiography. He is not eligible for the Hall of Fame.

"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. Rose finished with 4,256 hits, breaking Ty Cobb's career record.

And if steroids were prevalent in his day? "I would have got 5,000 hits," he said.

Oh yeah. That's my definition of an altar boy: A guy who lied about betting on baseball for 15 years, then telling the truth not to cleanse his soul, but to sell extra copies of his autobiography. I'm not defending the PED guys, but show me somebody who's taking morality lessons from Pete Rose and I'll show you Satan's next minion.

That's tomorrow on ~~Hypocrisy~~ Sports Unfiltered With Dennis Miller.
