Pete Rose is finally eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but he may not be as much of a lock as people think he is.

Rose's on-field resume speaks for itself - he is MLB's all-time hit king, won three World Series and was a 17-time All-Star with a career .303 batting average.

However, his gambling spurned his baseball life.

In 1989, amid accusations Rose had bet on the game while he was playing and managing, he was handed down a lifetime ban from the game. Two years later, the Hall of Fame said that anyone on baseball's ineligible list would not be eligible to be voted on.

However, MLB announced earlier this month that ineligibility ends after death, thus making Rose a candidate for Cooperstown. In all likelihood, Rose will get in, but some will always feel a type of way - including current All-Star shortstop Gunnar Henderson.

"He's obviously one of the game's greatest hitters. I don't know. I get it, but at the same time, he's one of the game's greatest players of all time. Leader in hits. Glad to see it, but also get both sides of it," the Baltimore Orioles star said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital, but Henderson eventually begrudged.

"I would let him in. I mean, he's just too great of a player to not be in it," he obliged.

Henderson spoke to Fox News Digital on behalf of VKTRY, as he has been wearing their insoles since spring training. He said he saw their ads on Instagram, wore them, and never looked back.

"I was kind of intrigued by the idea behind it and the science behind it. So it was really cool when I had the opportunity to join the team," he said. "I kind of tested them out in spring training this year. For me, stability is a big thing, especially in the infield, in the box. That was the biggest thing I had to check off the list, and they passed the test."

Henderson is batting .301 with an .883 OPS in his last 23 games, so it is easy to see why he is a fan VKTRY insoles. However, he is going to have to wear them for a long time if he has any hopes of catching up to Rose.

• Cloudflare's CEO has issued a stark warning for content creators.
• Matthew Prince said creators could lose out on advertising cash as people turn to AI for search purposes.
• He suggested creators work with tech companies to block AI bots from accessing their work without paying.

The CEO of one of the internet's biggest gatekeepers has warned that content creators are at risk of losing out on subscription and advertising money as people increasingly turn to AI for search purposes.

Matthew Prince, the billionaire cofounder and CEO of cybersecurity giant Cloudflare, told CNBC on Wednesday that creators need to push back as more of their value is captured directly by AI searches.

"I think that the economy is for sure changing," Prince said.

"What's changing is not that fewer people are searching the internet," he continued. "It's that more and more of the answers to Google are being answered right on Google's page."

Creators may miss out on ad views and subscription sign-ups as search engines and AI bots can now provide answers to search queries while sending fewer people to the original source, which Prince said could spell trouble for content producers.

"If you're making money through subscriptions, through advertising, any of the things that content creators are doing today, visitors aren't going to be seeing those ads," he said. "That means it's gonna be much, much harder for you to be a content creator."

Moving forward, Prince suggested that creators should work with tech companies to block AI bots from accessing their work without paying.

"The fuel that runs these AI engines is original content. So that content has to get created in order for these AI engines to work," he said. "What content creators have to do is restrict access to content, create that scarcity, and say, 'you're not going to get my content unless you're actually getting paying me for creating that content.'"

But Prince said there was still some cause for optimism, particularly for those creating "valuable" work.

"Original content that is actually highly valuable is I think going to be more valuable in this future," he said.

The exec has also spoken about what he sees as AI's potential upside for businesses and how the technology can supplement real workers' skills.

"AI has helped us not replace people, but help make people better," Prince told Business Insider in an interview last month, adding that Cloudflare's use of AI was less about replacing teams and more about giving them "superpowers."

• When I got divorced, I was so scared of being alone that I immediately went on the dating sites.
• I jumped into a relationship very quickly without realizing we had different values.
• When that relationship ended, I learned to heal and focus on myself.

It was only six months since my divorce became final that I did something I still regret. I created a Match.com profile.

I was just a week away from turning 40 and newly alone. I was hiding my pain so well that my friend suggested I start online dating. I knew it was a bad idea, but I took her advice anyway.

I quickly got into a relationship with a man when I should have been focusing on myself and my healing post-divorce.

I did not want to face the pain of being alone and divorced

Getting divorced in my early 40s was not in the plan. When it became my reality, I struggled with loneliness. I had been married for almost 16 years and had known my ex-husband for 18 years. The idea of suddenly being alone at night and having no one to share my day with was scary. It also meant having no financial support and having to rely solely on myself for the first time.

Instead of facing it, I buried that pain. I distracted myself by reading the messages from guys on dating apps.

There were too many choices on the apps, and I quickly found out that you don't know a person unless you've gone out with them a few times and learned to ask the right questions. So that's what I did.

I felt I was interviewing and hiring a man to be a boyfriend; it did not feel great. I wanted a more natural way of meeting someone, but with my busy work schedule, long commute, and kids, the apps were the best way to meet someone.

The dating apps were helping to distract me from my pain, but also making me feel even more alone. I knew I needed to get into a relationship and off the apps fast.

I met someone who seemed like the right match

I wanted a nice, kind guy, and I did not care if he was older or younger. I wanted somebody who could be a great friend and show much-needed love and care.

I thought I found someone who fit the bill right after my birthday. He was tall, handsome, and a little bit older.

He portrayed himself as a strong, caring man. He also made me feel safe. He accepted my flaws, weirdness, and sense of humor.

I filled the emptiness in my heart with the occasional dates with him. I felt alive again when I heard his laughter. It was exciting and fun when we spent time together.

But something didn't feel right. We dated for two years, and ultimately, I realized we had different priorities and values. He was not my match; I just started dating him and stayed with him to avoid the cold, empty bed at night after my divorce.

I paid a high price for my wrong move

I made the biggest mistake of looking happy and making my friends believe I was ready for a new relationship after my divorce. The fact is, I was not prepared for a new relationship, not even close.

I was so eager to find a man to walk down the aisle with again, but I made the wrong move. I forgot to find myself first.

It's been 10 years since that relationship ended, and I have since invested money, energy, and time into my spiritual and personal growth. I can now say I am OK with being single as I approach my 50th birthday. I now value the relationship I have with myself.

In 2005, Liverpool came from three goals down to win the Champions League final vs. Milan. To this day, fans and players never tire of taking about it.

Perhaps they can learn something from their three defeats already this season.

These players have contracts that expire this summer, and there are some big names involved.

I understand the allure of using technology to build something better and smarter than us. But in doing so, we must be absolutely sure we are not helping to bring about harm or doom on humanity.

Blades Brown and Michael Block can boast that they were on the same level as Scottie Scheffler, at least in the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Welcome to Edition 7.45 of the Rocket Report! Let's talk about spaceplanes. Since the Space Shuttle, spaceplanes have, at best, been a niche part of the space transportation business. The US Air Force's uncrewed X-37B and a similar vehicle operated by China's military are the only spaceplanes to reach orbit since the last shuttle flight in 2011, and both require a lift from a conventional rocket. Virgin Galactic's suborbital space tourism platform is also a spaceplane of sorts. A generation or two ago, one of the chief arguments in favor of spaceplanes was that they were easier to recover and reuse. Today, SpaceX routinely reuses capsules and rockets that look much more like conventional space vehicles than the winged designs of yesteryear. Spaceplanes are undeniably alluring in appearance, but they have the drawback of carrying extra weight (wings) into space that won't be used until the final minutes of a mission. So, do they have a future?

One of China's commercial rockets returns to flight. The Kinetica-1 rocket launched Wednesday for the first time since a failure doomed its previous attempt to reach orbit in December, according to the vehicle's developer and operator, CAS Space. The Kinetica-1 is one of several small Chinese solid-fueled launch vehicles managed by a commercial company, although with strict government oversight and support. CAS Space, a spinoff of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said its Kinetica-1 rocket deployed multiple payloads with "excellent orbit insertion accuracy." This was the seventh flight of a Kinetica-1 rocket since its debut in 2022.
