Schmidt predictsRose decision
Mike Schmidt thinks Bud Selig has been delaying a decision on whether to reinstate Pete Rose, but predicted the commissioner would act by the end of the month. Schmidt has been pushing Selig for more than a year to reinstate Rose, who agreed in 1989 to a lifetime ban from baseball following an investigation of his gambling. The former Cincinnati Reds player and manager applied for reinstatement in 1997.
