Ready2bet.com is interested in acquiring Pete Rose's autographed baseballs.
Ready2bet.com the online sportsbook has confirmed today that is interested in acquiring Pete Rose's autographed baseballs bearing a printed apology for betting on baseball.
Pete Rose's agent Warrent Greene disclosed to media that Rose signed the baseballs for some of his friends last year, but he didn't want them to be sold.
