I can still hit, I just can't run. Rose gave a 75-minute pep talk. This is not to help Pete Rose. I don't go to bed every night and pray I can go to the Hall of Fame. I can't live my life in the past.
Life goes on.
Rose is banned from going on the field and clubhouses of any major league team, or any minor league team in organized baseball. The Western Baseball League is independent and not covered by those roles. Rose helps David Cheatle. Steelheads players knew of the ban, but appreciated hearing from Rose. I don't idolize Pete Rose, but I respect his accomplishments.
