Well, I've finished it. The third (and first half of the fourth) section is Rose's day-to-day gambling for the first half of the 1987 season. I skimmed through it, but he did bet on the Reds every game. In a strange way, it makes what he did "less bad." I made a comment earlier in the thread that he could have burned his bullpen in a game that he bet on and put his team at a disadvantage for the next game that he didn't bet on. Well, he bet for the Reds and bet every game, so that didn't happen.
I will never understand gambling addiction (I play nickel slots when I go to Vegas), but Pete definitely has it. I don't know what he earned as a manager, but when the Phillies signed him away from Cincy, he was the highest paid player in baseball with a 4 year, $3.2 million contract. It's amazing how rich people can find ways to go into debt.
I think less of Pete now that I ever have. I even sort of regret buying his earlier baseball cards. I still think that he should be in the HOF though. I've been buying old Pete Rose cards (except for his rookie card, which I'll never be able to afford) on the assumption that he'll eventually be in Cooperstown, and the value of his cards will skyrocket.
The report is marked confidential. Was it ever released, or is this a leak?
