    MAGA fanboys who love Trump but are baseball purists who hate Pete Rose are confused and don’t know who to side with.

    All he can pardon him for is the tax evasion I believe.

    I’d say there’s a 50-50 chance Trump thinks he’s in charge of the Hall of Fame

    Posthumous pardons are, generally speaking, dumb.

    In terms of federal presidential posthumous pardons, there haven’t been many of them: Clinton pardoned the first black Army officer who was later convicted of conduct unbecoming, W. pardoned a businessman who had been convicted of smuggling three B-17 bombers to the fledgling Israeli government, and Trump issued four in his first term - Susan B. Anthony, Jack Johnson, a guy who assisted the Manhattan Project but was later convicted under the Sherman Act, and a guy who built a large Louisiana tug boat business but was convicted of a count of conspiracy to traffic cocaine based on participating in one recorded conversation.

    Please provide who you believe fits into your group of “maga fanboys who love Trump but are baseball purists”?

    Sounds a lot like you usual bullshit that you think up during your brain farts.

    Idiocy of this maga comment aside, I’m glad to hear this about a pardon for Pete Rose. Pro sports have since sold their souls for the gambling industry, kind of silly to ban a guy like Rose for betting on his team to win.

    I know that your 8+ years of chronic TDS has most likely caused some irreversible brain damage , but did you not read my support of Rose in my post. Now please provide your list of these legions of “maga Trump fanboys that are baseball purists”.

    I admittedly, love baseball. I also still possess a clear functioning brain even after going through four years of god knows who running the country during the Biden years. I struggle to see your connection with maga and Pete Rose.

    Very important to pardon Rose. I'm sure it will help lower the price of eggs immediately.

    He’s getting pardoned for federal tax evasion not gambling. Betting on your own team isn’t a pardonable federal crime.

    Why should Rose be pardoned for tax evasion when he didn’t pay his taxes?

    He's alienated all of our global allies and buddied up to Russia. So mission accomplished? Time to focus on the all time hit king.
