Yes, we all know that the rule was well-defined and that he broke the (stupid) rule.
All of us have pulled up to an intersection that has a sign which reads, "No turn on red" when wanting to make a right turn at a red light. When there is traffic, most of us likely obey the sign. But if it's the middle of the night with no other cars in sight, only an idiot sits there and waits for the light to turn green so he can make his right turn.
Pete Rose was sitting at a red light in the middle of the night with no traffic, wanting to make a right turn.
