NEW YORK (AP) β Pete Rose is getting closer to the game as he awaits a ruling on his reinstatement request.
Fox Sports said Saturday that it was hiring the career hits leader as a special guest analyst.
Rose agreed to the lifetime ban in August 1989 after a Major League Baseball investigation concluded he bet on the Reds to win while managing the team.
Shortly after new Commissioner Rob Manfred took over in January, Rose applied for reinstatement.
