Breaking: Pete Rose to be inducted into Hall of Fame

Report: Rose to be inducted into WWE hall of fame
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=mlb&id=1748793

NEW YORK -- Pete Rose will be inducted into World Wrestling Entertainment's hall of fame later this month, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Rose, major league baseball's career hits leader with 4,256, participated in three Wrestlemania events from 1998-2000 for WWE. He's ineligible to enter baseball's Hall of Fame because he's banned from the game for life.

"He has a deep, abiding respect for what we do," WWE chairman Vince McMahon told the newspaper.

Rose will be paid for his appearance at the March 13 induction, and at Wrestlemania the next night at Madison Square Garden.

2. I wonder if he'll get a duel induction with those steroid manufacturers

Baseball is a joke of a sport right now.

4. "Baseball is a joke of a sport right now."

I'd say that several players & owners are a joke. Not the game. But I'm a lifelong baseball fan, and that's JMO.

3. My first thought was: Oh, sure, now that Schott's dead.

And I thought, how very weird that would be if true.
