He was offered a pardon by Selig, all Pete had to do was quit gambling and associating with casino's. He (Rose) went directly from the MLB offices to a event in Vegas.

He got exactly what he asked for.

Seen that Frank Fritz from America Pickers past away.

Here is a great article on redemption.  Everyone wondered about Frank leaving American Pickers and Mike took the high road - in hindsight while Frank was dealing with addiction and denial.  Mike didn't take Frank's struggles public even though Frank threw him under the bus for "kicking him off the show."  There is a great example here.  And in the end, they were able to reconcile and they were together at the end.

‘American Pickers’ stars Frank Fritz, Mike Wolfe buried hatchet before host died after years of drama

God bless you, Mike.  Frank, RIP.

Went to the store a few years ago on our annual fall car cruise. This was after Frank had his stroke. Savanna is a pretty cool place to visit, an old railroad & river town with lots of history.

Frank and Mike did a show that featured a place in Waconia.  The talk of the town is that they were both great guys and it was a good experience for all involved.  Fun fact:  There were other things the guys bought that they didn't put into the episode.

Season-5, Episode-5, Fast Eddie
