Maybe it wasn't just the gambling. Maybe Pete Rose is just a really shitty person.

Pete Rose dismissed questions on Sunday about his first appearance on the field in Philadelphia since the franchise scrapped plans in 2017 to honor him because of a woman's allegation that baseball's hit king had sex with her when she was a minor.

"It was 55 years ago, babe," Rose told a female baseball writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer.


"Rose also blew off another question from The Associated Press after the ceremony about the allegation and his comment earlier in the day.

"Who cares what happened 50 years ago?" Rose said, according to the Inquirer. "You weren't even born. So you shouldn't be talking about it, because you weren't born. If you don't know a damn thing about it, don't talk about it.""


 
I read that last night. My favorite part is that his defense has been that he thought she was already 16 (the legal age there at the time) when he started banging her. At that time, he was 32 & married, with a couple of children.
