Agreed, 100%. This celebration was not about great citizens. It was about great baseball players. This Gray guy was way out of line. Since he was on his Morals Patrol, why didn't he interview heirs of Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb...two individuals whose off-field antics made Pete Rose look like a choir boy. As a Dodgers fanatic, I'm certainly not a big Pete Rose fan, but there's no arguing he was one of the game's finest players...why slag him on his (arguably) finest hour? Attention-grubbing journalists...attaining the same status as ambulance-chasing attorneys--anything for attention, regardless of the bigger picture. Hmmm, who at CNBC fits that profile...

If Pete Rose was in jail where he belongs, this wouldn't have happened.
