One of those people who don’t buy the “massive theft” story is non other than the legendary baseball player Pete Rose. In case you didn’t know, Rose is banned from baseball “for life” after it was discovered that he placed bets on the Cincinnati Reds while he was both playing for and managing the team. The decision to ban Rose also made him ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame, a place where he would undoubtedly be without the scandal.

He was asked about the Ohtani story by someone on Instagram, and Pete Rose had this to say:

“Well, back in the 70s and 80s, I wish I would have had an interpreter. I’d be scot free.”
