Presented is an official MLB baseball signed by all-time hits leader Pete Rose, inscribed with “Sorry I Bet on Baseball.” Signed boldly in blue ink, this unique collectible carries a Beckett Letter of Authenticity.

Rose, Major League Baseball’s all-time hits leader, became embroiled in controversy in 1989 when an investigation revealed he had bet on baseball games while managing the Cincinnati Reds, including games involving his own team. As a result, he accepted a permanent ban from MLB, rendering him ineligible for the Hall of Fame. Rose later admitted to his betting, and the scandal remains one of the most infamous in baseball history.
