They Hated Pete Rose Because He Was Great

They hated him because he was better than they were. The same skills that made Pete Rose great also drove him to gamble on baseball. But when the commissioners could use the rules to make Pete not look so good, after Baseball was finished making money off him, they did what most administrators do, they use the rules to destroy those who are bigger and better than they are. That's why Pete Rose was banned from Baseball, for life.
