Today I was listening to the Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio when they said that Pete Rose would be reinstated into baseball and would be put on the Hall of Fame Ballot in December.
If you don't know, Pete Rose has been banned from baseball ever since 1989 when it was found out that he had bet on several games. Anyways, they even had Peter Gammons aka the Dalai Lama of baseball call into the show and say that Rose had in fact been reinstated and that he had a great chance to get in in his first year for eligibility. All this time I was about to shit my pants because I thought this was rediculous: even if Rose is an incredible player, the bottom line is that he broke the rules which voids himself from the record book.
They went on and on reading emails and such until they stopped for a second......and then Dan says "April Fools."
