As a fan with an intense passion for the game of baseball, I can honestly say that nothing good comes from Tom Sizemore's slick portrayal of a beleaguered Pete Rose...a real scumbag. After watching this, it's easy to forget Rose's Hall-Of-Fame-like accomplishments on the field - captured by a handful of real-life clips at the top of the film. His slow decent into the world of degenerate gambling literally cost him - and almost everyone who he allowed get close to him - everything!! I almost felt sorry for Paul Janszen's character - smartly played by Dash Mihok (The Day After Tomorrow) - for his being so naive to the point where he just didn't see it coming. The bottom line being that, maybe other people do it, too, but Pete Rose got caught.
