NEW YORK (AP) - Major league baseball denied an Internet report that it had reached an agreement with Pete Rose to allow the career hits leader to return to the sport next year.
Citing unidentified sources, Baseball Prospectus reported Tuesday that the agreement includes no admission of wrongdoing by Rose, who was banned from the game in August 1989 for gambling. The report said Rose could be employed by a team in 2004 and would be allowed to manage again in 2005.

Bob DuPuy, baseball's president and chief operating officer, said commissioner Bud Selig has made no decision regarding Rose's application for reinstatement, first filed in 1997.

"The story that appeared on the Baseball Prospectus Web site today regarding the return of Pete Rose to baseball in 2004 and the alleged written agreement that had been reached by Rose and commissioner Selig is unsubstantiated and totally unfounded. The report is wholly inaccurate," DuPuy said.

Baseball Prospectus said it stood by its story.

I read that Baseball Prospectus "report" when it was first released the other day. I called BULLSHIT on it right away. If it were true, every major news organization would have reported it. And I'm not talking about sports news, I talking about CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, etc.

	Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.
