Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted a photo of a signed baseball seemingly from Pete Rose on Sunday.

Trump's official Twitter account posted the photo of the signed ball, but Rose's attorney, Ray Genco, disputed any endorsement.
"Pete has made a point not to 'endorse' any particular presidential candidate," Ray Genco said in a statement to NBC News. "Though he respects everyone who works hard for our country any outlet that misinterpreted a signed baseball for an endorsement was wrong. Pete did not send any candidate a baseball or a note of endorsement."
Genco also told The Washington Post, "We do not know how Mr. Trump got the ball. 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."
