A very interesting read from the greatest hitter the game has seen, but this book ultimately seemed to have an alternate purpose - to attempt to sway Commissioner Selig into reinstating Pete Rose for the sake of his Hall of Fame induction. It reads like one long confession, with a few notable moments.
