Pete Rose was part of the 1980 World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies team that was honored before the Phillies’ game Sunday. It was his first appearance on the field there since the Phillies scrapped 2017 plans to honor him due to a woman’s claim she had a sexual relationship with Rose when she was a minor.

Rose dismissed questions about it Sunday, telling a female baseball writer, “It was 55 years ago, babe.”

The 81-year-old career hits leader got a standing ovation.

 

Twins' Baldelli Blasts Overturned Call

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli blasted an overturned call in the 10th inning Sunday that gave the Toronto Blue Jays a 3-2 win.

Toronto’s Whit Merrfield ran from third on a sacrifice fly and was called out at the plate trying to score the game-winning run, but the call was reversed after replay officials said Twins catcher Gary Sanchez didn’t establish a clear lane for him. Baldelli called it “one of the worst moments I think we’ve seen of umpiring.”

 

Anderson's Suspension Reduced to Two Games

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson’s three-game suspension was reduced to two games after he reached a settlement with the league this weekend.

Anderson was suspended after his helmet made contact with umpire Nick Mahrley's cap during an argument about a strike call. Mahrley had just kicked Anderson out of the game.
