I think this week in Pete's life should be studied in PR-schools as how not to do stuff. It's pretty freaking amazing that by finally coming out and admitting that he bet on baseball, which the entire world thought would be a very good thing for him to do, he's set back his own cause for reinstatement, probably irreparably.

Did you hear Joe Morgan's comments on it?
Link here. I agree that Pete does not seem to be truly sorry for what he did.
I too am old enough to remember Charlie Hustle in his playing days. Back then I thought he was an egotistical jerk. I still do. He could have delayed his book release and interview a week or two so that the publicity would not overshadow the HoF announcement. But, noooooooooooo! Fucking bastard.
Hey, Pete, get a clue. You bet on baseball. You lied about it. You broke the rules. Stop whining and get over it already. Accept the fact that you fucked up and move on.
