Hall of Famer Tony Perez says former teammate Pete Rose has changed and deserves induction. Rose was contrite after being roasted Saturday at a casino near Cincinnati, said Perez. "He talked about he disrespected the game," Perez said. "He apologized to everybody, to us, to the fans, to baseball. He was very emotional. He got to me, too." Rose agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 for gambling on baseball. After long denying guilt, he acknowledged in a 2004 autobiography that he bet on Reds games. Rose is barred from the Hall of Fame because of his ban, but Perez said his ex-teammate deserves to become a member. "I would love to see it," Perez said. "He's a different guy now. He's changed. I believe it. He knows he made a big mistake. He apologized late, but he's doing it. He said he was wrong."
