On Sunday night, Republican front-runner Donald Trump shared a photo of a baseball with the world. But this wasn’t just any old ball: It was one apparently signed by baseball’s all-time hit-leader, Pete “Charlie Hustle” Rose. “Mr. Trump,” the baseball read, “Please make America great again.”…

But now, it turns out that what some thought was an endorsement wasn’t — according to Ray Genco, an attorney for Rose — and that Trump’s ball didn’t come from Pete Rose at all. Genco made this absolutely clear in a telephone conversation with The Washington Post late Monday.

“We do not know how Mr. Trump got the ball,” Genco said. “I can’t authenticate the ball from some Twitter picture.” He added: “I can’t speak to how Trump got the ball. Pete didn’t send it. I made that clear.”
