Pete Rose Jr going to prison Like father like son? What a shame ... I was a huge Pete Rose fan...
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Pete Rose Jr., the son of baseball's career hits leader, was sentenced Monday to one month in prison and five months of home detention for distributing a steroid alternative to his minor league teammates. Rose faced up to two years in prison and a $1 million fine. Federal judge Robert Echols waived a fine for Rose.
"I made a mistake and hurt a lot of people," Rose said outside the courthouse after the sentencing. "The judge is great. He was very generous and I can't thank him enough. He doesn't have to worry about me doing anything like this again," Rose said. Is this a case of bad example?...or is the kid just plain dumb? |
