Pete Rose has an interesting sense of humor about his lifetime ban from baseball.

The all-time hits leader, who was banned from the game in 1989 after he was caught betting on baseball while managing the Cincinnati Reds, appeared in a new commercial by William Hill promoting a sports betting app.

Former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman gives Rose some advice on the benefits of the app in the ad scheduled to air during Sunday's Super Bowl.

Rose admitted in 2004 that he bet on baseball as a manager, and recently had an appeal to have his ban lifted denied by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.
