WATCH: The day Pete Rose was banned from baseball

A baseball legend fell from grace and he and his hometown fans were crushed when Pete Rose was banned from baseball on Aug. 24, 1989. WCPO’s Brian Niesz compiled this video account from that day, including separate news conferences – Baseball Commissioner Bart Giamatti in New York and Rose at Riverfront Stadium. Rose continued to deny he bet on baseball and he vowed to be reinstated one year later, but he remains banned for the game and the Hall of Fame today. The video includes reaction from Sparky Anderson, Marty Brennaman, Marge Schott and more.
