Like father, like son
Pete Rose, Jr. could potentially spend two years in a federal pen. He pleaded guilty to charges that he distributed a steroid alternative to his minor league teammates.
Under the terms of his plea deal, he could be sentenced to 21 to 24 months in federal prison and fined up to $1 million. Rose, 35, is on his own until his sentencing in February.
This news really blows me away. It's so hard to imagine how young Pete could go wrong. His father is such a great role model. I'm sure millions of little leaguers are hoping they make it big in Major League Baseball only to be tossed out for life for betting on the game.
