Subdude Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 This guy is so obnoxious, in so many ways. Rose 'I'm sorry' baseballs will be auctionedBy JOE KAY, AP Sports WriterSeptember 19, 2006CINCINNATI (AP) -- Pete Rose never expected baseballs bearing his autograph and a printed apology for betting on baseball to be sold publicly, his business agent said Monday.A New Jersey auction house plans to put 30 such balls up for bid in April, unsure how much they'll fetch. The baseballs belonged to a memorabilia collector who died last December.Baseball's banished hits king signed the baseballs for some of his friends about a year ago, but didn't want them put up for sale, according to business agent Warren Greene."These guys are collectors. Pete signed for them," Greene said, in a phone interview. "Pete made zero dollars for signing them."The baseballs say "I'm sorry I bet on baseball" in block letters, with Rose's autograph directly below. Greene didn't know who suggested the inscription.Yahoo article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Funny. I once got a Nolan Ryan autographed baseball for speaking to the students at Alvin College. Got $80 for it on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
