Former baseball star Pete Rose has begged the MLB to include him in the Hall of Fame, apologising for every controversy he's ever been involved in.
Rose remains one of the greatest baseball stars of all-time, with the former switch hitter holding the record for the most hits (4,256), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), singles (3,215), and outs (10,328) in the MLB. Rose won the World Series on three occasions, but he ruined his reputation when he became a coach.
Three years after retiring as a player in 1984, Rose switched to management, but allegations were made that he had gambled on games he played as a player and a manager for the Cincinnati Reds - which he later admitted. The Hall of Fame voted to make him permanently ineligible to be inducted as a result, but Rose has now penned a letter out of desperation to be considered.
