So, after 47 years, whoever really shot JFK still can step forward. Plus, what a teary-eyed Pete Rose said inside a packed ballroom over the weekend at a southern Indiana casino was the verbal line drive he needed for a plaque in Cooperstown.
Rose will make the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Just watch.
It'll happen sooner than later, because the Veterans Committee will do what those of us who vote every year for Hall of Famers as members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America couldn't do. We couldn't vote for Rose (you know, even if we wanted to), because he was never on the ballot. He was ineligible due to his lifetime ban from the game in 1989 for betting on baseball as a manager of the same Reds that he helped make famous as a player in his native Cincinnati.
Rose lied about his betting, too. Then he sort of confessed in a mostly insulting book, and then he hinted later during interviews that those actually were his fingerprints on the betting slips baseball officials discovered at the start of their investigation.

A long time ago, I started spinning slot machines, playing poker, table games and betting on sports and sports gambling, but always just for fun, not money. I never could have thought that you can actually make money at an online casino and, besides, a lot of money. But when he decided to play betvictor casino, he started winning even large sums of money. It was only then that I realized that their games can be not only fun, but also bring in a lot of money. It's nice when entertainment is profitable, and often even meaningful.
