Ambitious autograph seekers try to get athletes to write any kind of pertinent information on a baseball to enhance its collectibility. Pete Rose is known as baseball's Hit King, but he's equally as famous for the accusation of betting on baseball. Never before has a living baseball player created such a stir as Rose did by penning his name to OML (Selig) baseballs with the inscription, "I'm Sorry I Bet on Baseball." We can only imagine Bart Giamatti rolling over in his grave. This "Apology" ball has been nicely signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint ink. In excellent condition. Rose's personal authentication hologram is affixed to guarantee authenticity.
