What did Pete Rose say about the Shohei Ohtani gambling scandal?
Pete Rose, the legendary baseball figure, weighed in on the Shohei Ohtani gambling scandal involving his ex-translator, Ippei Mizuhara.
Pete Rose, known for his remarkable career as a player and manager, has been banned from baseball due to his own gambling activities. In a recent video shared online, Pete Rose made an interesting comment about the Ohtani situation. He suggested that if he had an interpreter back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, he would have been “scot-free.” The implication is that having an interpreter could have shielded him from the consequences he faced for his gambling actions during his playing and managing days.
In this way, Rose’s comments also allude to the fact that maybe Ohtani is using a scapegoat. The legendary player is stirring up the controversy and the conspiracy that leads to the Dodgers player losing this money on gambling debts himself.
