In mlb. I say BS!!! Pete rose suspended for life and he didn’t beat on his wife.
So essentially they’ve ended his career.Nevermind, can’t pitch anywhere else professionally.
And on cue after the suspension announced, another woman steps forward within an hour to claim she was also a victim![]()
This was a predatory chick trying to get a large payday. The incredible popularity of "50 Shades.." should tell you this stuff is not beyond the pale with most women these days.Bauer seems like a sick perv - and I'd argue most businesses should have character clauses. But if you have that you need to enforce it equally.

In an interview with WCHE-AM of West Chester, Pennsylvania, two years ago, Dowd said former Rose associate Michael Bertolini "told us that not only did he run bets, but he ran young girls for him down in spring training, ages 12 to 14." Dowd added: "Isn't that lovely? So that's statutory rape every time you do that."
Rose and Bertolini issued denials, and Rose filed suit last year in U.S. District Court in Eastern Pennsylvania, seeking unspecified damages from Dowd.
Dowd's defense filed a sworn statement by an unidentified woman alleging she had a sexual relationship with Rose in the 1970s that began before she turned 16 -- the age of legal consent in their home state of Ohio. In court documents, Rose acknowledged the relationship but said he believed it began in 1975, when she was 16. He turned 34 that April and was a star player for the Reds and a married father of two children.
After the woman's allegation and Rose's acknowledgment of their sexual relationship became public, the Philadelphia Phillies canceled plans to honor Rose and Fox Sports replaced him as a postseason studio analyst.
OTL reported in October that Rose's legal team dropped a contention of the suit that Dowd's statutory rape accusation resulted in two companies declining to extend endorsement deals with Rose totaling more than $300,000.
