PETE ROSE, JR. NEGOTIATING WITH ITALIAN TEAM

The son of baseball’s all-time hits leader is talking with a team about playing across the Atlantic this season. Pete Rose, Junior was reported close to signing a contract with the DeAngelis Godo club, which finished seventh in the Italian Serie A1 standings in 2008.


The well-traveled Rose began his professional career in 1989 as a 19-year-old infielder with the Erie Orioles of the Class A New York-Penn League. Since then, he has bounced around the minor leagues, appearing briefly for his hometown Cincinnati Red in 1997 (batting .143 in eleven games). Last season, Rose batted .289 with 15 homers and 95 RBIs in 129 games for the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League.
