In 2005, MLB legend Pete Rose finally admitted that he gambled on baseball games. However, he insisted he only bet on games as a manager and never a player.
According to new documents that were uncovered in an ESPN Outside the Lines report, Rose was lying.
Copies from pages of a notebook that was seized from a 1989 raid of a former Rose associate’s house indicate that Rose bet on baseball — including the Cincinnati Reds — during the 1986 season when he served as both manager and a player. The notebook was taken from Michael Bertolini’s house roughly two months after Rose was banned from baseball.
