Pete Rose gambles… on a fashion statement
April 1st, 2011 by Chris HumpherysWith all this talk about Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens cheating the game, we have lost sight of the man that made cheating fashionable… although after looking at the picture below, “fashionable” is probably a poor choice of words.
