Donald Trump says he will posthumously pardon baseball great Pete Rose. Rose was banned for life in 1989 for betting on games and later jailed for tax evasion. Trump also reiterated his call for Rose to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Rose died last year aged 83 and was Major League Baseball’s all-time hit king. He was nicknamed \”Charlie Hustle\” for his hard-charging effort and dogged determination in the game. He left the sport in disgrace when he was permanently banned for gambling on games as a manager for the Cincinnati Reds. He denied for years that he had gambled on baseball but in 2004 admitted he bet on Reds games, saying he always bet on his team to win, never on them to lose. He also spent five months in prison in 1990 and early 1991 forTax evasion. He later admitted he had bet on Cincinnati Reds games to win but never on their opponents to win. He said he would be signing a PARDON of Pete Rose in the next few weeks.
