Selig still reviewing Rose application (AP)

Twelve years later, baseball commissioner Bud Selig still is examining Pete Rose's application for reinstatement. The career hits leader agreed to a lifetime ban from baseball in 1989 after an investigation concluded he bet on the Cincinnati Reds to win while he was manager of the team. Rose applied for reinstatement in September 1997 and met with Selig in November 2002.
