Has Pete Rose come full circle?
In 1989, Major League Baseball banned Rose for betting on the sport. The ban included entry into the revered Hall of Fame. Here we are 32 years later, and the all-time hits leader has his own sports betting podcast on Quake Media.
A premium podcast service, the show will air six times a week, with Rose giving his insight on bets from baseball playoffs to horse racing, along with co-host WSiN’s Ben Wilson. Fans can sign up for “Pete Rose’s Daily Picks” on the Quake Media website or through Apple Podcast subscriptions for $2.99 a month, according to Barrett Sports Media.
“I watch baseball every day. If it’s not baseball season, I watch another pro sport every day,” said Rose in the Quake Media announcement. “This is going to be a fun chance for me to talk about the sports I love. I’ll share how I think about games with Ben and the fans; then we can watch and learn together. There are some insights, I believe, that only an old guy like me may think of. I’m excited to share my winning predictions with my fans.”
To drive home the point even more, Rose will make the inaugural table bet at the reopening of Hard Rock Casino in Cincinnati on October 29. Hard Rock replaces Jack Casino.
The reopening also includes a performance by Earth, Wind & Fire, and a ceremonial guitar smash. Tickets are on sale for the performance at HardRockCasinoCincinnati.com.
“We know our Grand Opening will be a big hit with the Hit King Pete Rose and Earth, Wind & Fire here to celebrate with our guests,” George Goldhoff, president of Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati, said in a press release, according to WCPO.
These days, Rose, 80, a former Cincinnati Red, spends a lot of his time in Las Vegas.
