As Donald Trump continues his campaign to become the next President of the United States of America, athletes have begun to show support for the polarizing Republican.

First, ex-Yankees like Paul O'Neill and Johnny Damon made their opinions known. Then Jets center Nick Mangold introduced Trump at a rally. Now, with the Ohio state primary about to take place, an even more infamous ex-baseball star has joined Team Trump: All-time hit king, Pete Rose. On Sunday evening, Trump tweeted out a signed baseball from Rose that made his affiliation and request clear: Make America great again.

1. Now there's a reason to keep him out of the Hall of Fame!

5. I think betting $$$ against his own team did that.

7. He says that he never bet against his Cincinnati Reds.

9. you are of course free to believe that but

he admitted to gambling addiction, made a deal that included MLB not investigating further and kept logs of his bets. If he has good control over the impulse to gamble he would not have been an addict.

Personally I think that to believe that Pete Rose did not bet against the Reds while manager of the team is to believe that an alcoholic bartender never poured himself a free drink.

12. What is it? The guy that bet on his own team, now is betting on Trump?

Johnny Bench once said that Pete Rose was a sure hall of famer, but what he did is like stealing from your own family!
