As Donald Trump continues his campaign to become the next President of the United States of America, athletes have begun to show support for the polarizing Republican.

First, ex-Yankees like Paul O'Neill and Johnny Damon made their opinions known. Then Jets center Nick Mangold introduced Trump at a rally. Now, with the Ohio state primary about to take place, an even more infamous ex-baseball star has joined Team Trump: All-time hit king, Pete Rose. On Sunday evening, Trump tweeted out a signed baseball from Rose that made his affiliation and request clear: Make America great again.

4. If you ever get to Vegas, you can let Rose know what you think...I know where he is...

EVERY DAY he sits at this Sports Memorabilia store at Mandalay Place and signs autographs...for $50.

8. "snort" From what I heard, Pete bet on the Cheatriots and won a bundle of money..

including when there was serious deflating going on in Foxboro!

7. Another Reason To Disavow Trump

I hated Pete Rose when he was a young player. I find him a non-pitiable piece of trash now. He's a pathetic liar and he's keeping consistent company with Trump
