Pete Rose Reportedly Bet on Reds Games He Played in During 1986 Season

Documents obtained by ESPN's Outside the Lines show Pete Rose gambled on games he played in during the 1986 season, running counter to what MLB's all-time hits king has maintained since his banishment from baseball.

OTL's William Weinbaum and T.J. Quinn uncovered gambling records tied to former Rose associate Michael Bertolini, which clearly show the Cincinnati Reds slugger bet on games he played in during at least the 1986 season. John Dowd, the former federal prosecutor who led MLB's initial investigation into Rose, read and confirmed the documents.
