Tyler Rose, the son of late baseball legend Pete Rose, told Newsmax on Wednesday that a posthumous presidential pardon for his father "would mean the world" to the family.
At the end of last month, President Donald Trump wrote a social media postcriticizing the MLB for banning Rose and the Baseball Hall of Fame for not inducting him during his lifetime. He also vowed to pardon Rose, who was permanently banned from the MLB after an investigation found that he had placed bets on games involving the Cincinnati Reds during his time as a player and a manager. Rose was not charged with a crime for placing bets; he pleaded guilty in 1990 to filing false tax returns and served five months in prison.
