Chris Rose Calls Out Media For 'Witch Hunt' Against Mets' Juan Soto
The New York Mets locked up former Yankees outfielder Juan Soto with a 15-year, $765 million contract this past offseason, giving the team a bona fide front line hitter with a superstar's charisma to aid their quest for their first World Series title since 1986. Soto has responded with an uncharacteristically down season by his standards as he has hit just .246 on the season with 8 home runs and 20 RBI, one season after his 41-homer, 109 RBI season across town.

The negativity surrounding Soto led Rose to declare the situation a "bit witch hunty," as he shared additional thoughts. "You know, Michael Kay reported that Soto wanted to stay with the Yankees (before heading to the Mets this past offseason), there was another report from Bob Klapisch who's been around the game a long time saying the Mets aren't happy with Soto's lack of enthusiasm, like, all this stuff it feels a little witch-hunty to me," a fired up Rose said in the video.

"I think that is a dangerous place to live," Rose continued. Related: Mets' Carlos Mendoza Breaks Silence After Disagreement With Juan Soto

Pete Rose's reinstatement has baseball fans in uproar: 'What a shame they waited until now'
Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred removed Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other deceased players from the league's permanently ineligible list Tuesday. As a result, Rose, MLB's all-time hits leader; Jackson; and others are eligible for election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Rose and Jackson were infamous figures in MLB history, their legacies tarnished by gambling on the game. MLB found Rose gambled on his Cincinnati Reds as both a player and manager, although he insisted he never bet on his team to lose. Rose denied the accusations until 2004. He sought reinstatement several times but was never welcomed back by MLB before his death in September 2024. Rose predicted just 10 days before his death that he wouldn't make the Baseball Hall of Fame until after he died, if at all. The news about Rose shocked the baseball world, and fans immediately began lobbying for Rose's induction into the Hall of Fame. Baseball fans have been debating Rose's eligibility for the Hall of Fame for years. Former MLB pitcher John Rocker posted, "PETE ROSE DESERVED TO SEE HIS NAME IN THE HALL OF FAME." However, not everyone shares the same view, including veteran sports host Chris Rose. "Pete Rose didn't give Pete Rose a shot to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame," Chris Rose explained in his reaction video posted on social media. "We're always looking to point the finger at somebody else as to why we can't do this or we weren't given that shot. My guess is that Pete Rose would've had ample opportunity to do this if he would've looked himself in the mirror and said, 'You have to clean up your act,' which he never did. "For 15 years after A. Bartlett Giamatti, the commissioner at the time, said, "Pete, you're out,' he never admitted to betting on baseball. You know when he finally did? When he could turn a quick buck, when he could turn out a book. And then he started saying, 'Yeah, I did bet on baseball, but I only I bet on my team to win when I was managing them.'" Manfred wrote about his decision in a letter to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov. "Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," Manfred wrote in the letter obtained by ESPN. "Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve. Therefore, I have concluded that permanent ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual, and Mr. Rose will be removed from the permanently ineligible list." President Donald Trump, who met with Manfred last month, announced in March he would pardon Rose, who served five months in prison in 1990. In 2017, Rose was also accused of statutory rape from an alleged encounter decades earlier. "Major League Baseball didn't have the courage or decency to put the late, great, Pete Rose, also known as 'Charlie Hustle,' into the Baseball Hall of fame. Now he is dead, will never experience the thrill of being selected, even though he was a FAR BETTER PLAYER than most of those who made it, and can only be named posthumously. WHAT A SHAME!" Trump posted. While Rose has a good shot to make it into the Hall, Jackson's chances are slim to none. It is widely assumed he took part in the 1919 Black Sox scandal, in which seven others were banned from the game for fixing the World Series that year. As a result of Manfred's decision, 17 deceased players have been removed from MLB's permanently ineligible list.

OREO gets its most epic dunk ever – in the Milky Way
JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OREO, cherished worldwide for its special bond with milk as epitomized by the "OREO dunk", has reimagined this classic ritual. To introduce its limited-edition Space Dunk cookies in Southeast Asia, OREO took a cosmic leap, dunking not into a glass of milk but into the vast Milky Way. Presenting the extraordinary OREO Milky Way Dunk! "Oreo and milk's bond is timeless. Launching Oreo Space Dunk cookies, we added a playful twist, taking Oreo's dunk to new heights…literally!" said Jonathan McCarthy Mondelez Vice President Marketing, SEA. Leo Indonesia teamed up with Sent Into Space company to create a custom launch craft, sending OREO cookies into the stratosphere. The craft featured a hydraulic system to eject the cookie in a specific angle, giving a visual impression of Oreo getting dunked in the Milky Way. A multi-camera setup recorded the entire process, from take-off to ejection. "Leo Indonesia's idea for launching Space Dunk cookies was both challenging and funny at same time. Despite having launched numerous things into space, sending a small cookie in a specific direction demanded substantial engineering and testing. It was also vital to ensure our custom space craft returned safely to earth with no environmental impact. We're thrilled with the mission's success!" says Chris Rose, PhD. Head of Projects & Business Development at Sent Into Space. Oreo puts a clever spin on space flights by being the first brand to give the impression of being dunked into the Milky Way. This twist, swapping dunking in milk for dunking the Milky Way, is designed to resonate with consumers and maintain Oreo's authentic, relatable personality across markets. "At OREO, we believe that a spark of childlike curiosity can bring families closer together. And what's more curious (and fun!) than reinventing the iconic ritual of Dunking in milk – to dunking an Oreo into the Milky Way? This is one more playful step in our journey to connect the world through playfulness," said Lucas Levy, Mondelez SEA Regional Marketing Director. OREO's epic dunk launched in Cukul, Indonesia, an ideal spot for viewing the Milky Way, hosting media and influencers from ten Asian markets. A film captured OREO's voyage from its Cikarang factory in Indonesia to space, using a custom launch craft by Sent to Space. The video humorously depicts a visual impression of OREO's attempt to "dunk" in the Milky Way, introducing the new Space Dunk cookies. "When we wondered how OREO could launch space-themed cookies, the answer came straight from the galaxy. Whether there's milk in the Milky Way, we can't say, but we do know this is the most epic OREO dunk ever," says Ravi Shanker, Chief Creative Officer at Leo Indonesia and Publicis Groupe Indonesia. OREO's Space Dunk campaign explores space across ten Asian markets with five unique embossments: rocket, helmet, star, telescope, and shooting star – all are inspired by the taste of space. The campaign captures children's curiosity and parents' imagination. At a custom game developed by Leo Indonesia, lets consumers dunk OREOs in the Milky Way virtually on their mobile to earn points and win exciting prizes.
