MLBPA boss wants Rose reinstated

The head of the Major League Baseball Players Association says he wants Pete Rose to be reinstated.

Former All-Star first baseman Tony Clark made the remarks to reporters at spring training on Tuesday, a day after new commissioner Rob Manfred said he had received a formal application from Rose.

Baseball's career hits leader agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 following an investigation that concluded he bet on the Cincinnati Reds to win while managing the team.
