Rose wilted by continued life ban

Major League Baseball all-time hits leader Pete Rose said on Tuesday he is disappointed his life ban from the sport remains in place.

Rose spoke in Las Vegas a day after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said he would not end Rose's lifetime banishment for betting on baseball while he was managing the Cincinnati Reds - a punishment imposed in 1989.

Rose, 74, works for Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas and said he has his gambling under control, but Manfred was unhappy that gambling remains a major portion of Rose's life.
