If he had played football, he’d be in the Hall of Fame. Yup, Pete Rose would be enshrined in Canton, Ohio − the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This comes to light after Rose recently sent a letter to Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred for “forgiveness.”
First and foremost, Rose should have addressed his letter to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum − his ban from the Hall is their call. Major League Baseball does not control the Hall of Fame.
But Canton would have been an easier route. Take a look.
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley joined a notable list of NFL players who were suspended by the league for gambling.
Ridley is currently serving a one-season suspension after betting on games last year while he was a member of the Atlanta Falcons. On Twitter, Ridley said he bet a total of $1,500 on NFL games.
And guess what?
