After years of denial, Rose admitted in his 2004 autobiography that he bet on games, but only while he was manager. And as recently as April, he told a radio show he "never bet as a player: That's a fact." But ESPN has obtained documents that show the betting began as Rose "racked up the last hits of a record-smashing career in 1986." Here's more:
"The documents are copies of pages from a notebook seized from the home of former Rose associate Michael Bertolini during a raid by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in October 1989, nearly two months after Rose was declared permanently ineligible by Major League Baseball. Their authenticity has been verified by two people who took part in the raid, which was part of a mail fraud investigation and unrelated to gambling. For 26 years, the notebook has remained under court-ordered seal and is currently stored in the National Archives' New York office, where officials have declined requests to release it publicly."

BREAKING NEWS: WATER IS WET
I mean come on, who cares at this point? We act as if athletes should be held to some higher standard because the are famous and have money. News flash they are just like you and I except they are bigger, stronger, and faster. In my opinion it is our fault as Americans for allowing them to become the focal point of our society. If we didn't watch their games, pay hundreds of dollars to go to them, and buy their memorabilia then they wouldn't hold as much weight in society...
Pete Rose probably bet on games as a child.
