The quote above covers my opinion.

And Olberman made a great point last night... baseball only wants Pete Rose when it benefits baseball. When a high dollar sponsor (MasterCard) told baseball that they wanted Pete Rose to be at the appearance, baseball took the money and let him be in the ceremony.

There is a great hypocrisy going on. Rose is banned from anything to do with baseball... unless baseball can make money off him.
