I’ll admit that I am fascinated by Pete Rose. This guy had it all and an obsession with gambling disrupted what should have been a fast and easy trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame. For 14 years he denied betting on baseball and then he admitted it was a lie and that he did bet on baseball. He served time for tax evasion and now we find out he still hasn’t gotten all his taxes paid. elitestv.com:

Pete Rose has had many problems over the past few years and they keep on coming. He now owes close to $1 Million Dollars in back federal taxes. The IRS filed a federal tax lien in Broward County last Tuesday stating that Rose owes $973,698.28 for back taxes dating from 1977-2002.

I’m thinking that Pete really needs to get back into baseball so he can pay off his debts. He likes going to the tracks but as a gambler he must not be very good, because he can’t catch up his debt. He should know better than anyone that you can’t escape death and taxes.
