Stephen A. Smith has blasted Pete Rose’s MLB ban following the baseball icon’s death at the age of 83, saying that ‘murderers have been let off quicker’ than he has.
Rose, MLB’s all-time hits leader, was handed a lifetime ban in 1989 after he was found to have bet on the Cincinnati Reds as both a player and manager of the team.
That meant that the baseball icon was never inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame before his death, and ESPN’s Smith raged against the treatment Rose was shown on Tuesday morning.

MLB is a bunch of hypocrites.
All sports are now advertising gambling sites.
“Lifetime” is a long time. This was the sports equivalent of a death sentence,
I’m sure no MLB executive ever gambles on baseball.
