Pete Rose Signed Apology Baseballs May Be Acquired by Sportsbook

Ready2bet.com the online sportsbook has confirmed today that is interested in acquiring Pete Rose's autographed baseballs bearing a printed apology for betting on baseball.

Pete Rose's agent Warrent Greene disclosed to media that Rose signed the baseballs for some of his friends last year, but he didn't want them to be sold.

The printed apology on the baseballs says, "I'm sorry I bet on baseball" in block letters, with Rose's autograph directly below.

Rose accepted a lifetime ban for gambling in 1989, but denied for nearly 15 years that he bet on baseball. He finally acknowledged in his latest autobiography, published in January 2004, that he made baseball wagers while he managed the Cincinnati Reds.

Ready2bet.com is interested to acquire the signed baseballs and offer them to the sportsbook's customers as a reward for their loyalty when the baseball season ends.

Warren Russel spokesperson for Ready2bet.com said, "We are interested on acquiring all 30 baseballs to offer them to our clients, however we are sure that competition will be high at the auction. We will do our best to secure as many as possible."
