Pete Rose

Pete Rose is making his case to the Baseball Hall of Fame in an effort to get on the ballot 27 years after agreeing to a permanent ban from Major League Baseball for betting on games during his time as a player and manager for the Cincinnati Reds.

Leave it to Pete Rose to make a weather delay entertaining.

The former player, manager and current commentator got a little out of hand when rain delayed Friday night's Game 6 of the American League Championship Series between the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays.

There are really no words for that odd head swivel up top, but there was also this:

Alex Rodriguez and Pete Rose are no strangers to boo birds.

While on set Monday for Fox's coverage of the MLB postseason, A-Rod and the Hit King shared a fist bump after the New York Yankees designated hitter noted just how qualified he is in getting hated on:
