"When you play for the name on the front of the jersey, the name on the back doesn’t matter." - Pete Rose

Jul 19, 2024

The details of Rose's betting activities during the 1987 season, painstakingly documented, provide a sobering glimpse into the intersection of athletic prowess and personal vice.

Welcome to Ballpark Confidential: Baseball’s Backstory on Culture, Society, & History. Whether you’re a die-hard fan, new to the game, or just enjoy a good baseball story, I’m here to dive deep into the essence of baseball, uncovering pivotal moments and key figures. This is more than a history lesson; it’s an exploration of how baseball reflects and influences our culture and society.

In this first series, titled River Rat – “Hustle, Heroism, and Hubris: The Pete Rose Conundrum” I’m examining books, articles, opinions, watching TLC reality TV show “Hits & Mrs.” on Pete and will read the document that rocked Major League Baseball – The Dowd Report sparking a 35+ year debate on one of baseball’s greatest players.

Over the past several months, I have examined the Dowd Report, breaking it down section by section. This detailed analysis has enabled me to thoroughly investigate the evidence, testimonies, and conclusions that resulted in Pete Rose's lifetime ban from Major League Baseball. By exploring each part of the Dowd Report, I have gained a clear and nuanced understanding of the events and actions that led to this significant moment in baseball history.

The section below comes from John Dowd’s investigation into Pete Rose's gambling habits. This summary covers the period from April 8 to July 5, 1987, and highlights the frequency and nature of Rose's bets, the associates involved, and the persistent betting pattern that led to his lifetime ban from baseball.

The records show a network of telephone calls, betting sheets, and financial transactions, involving Rose and his associates in bets on baseball games, including his own team. The betting activity is documented through phone logs, clubhouse records, and testimony, revealing Rose's deep involvement in sports gambling.

From calls to bookies just before game time to numerous interactions with sports lines, the data shows Rose's obsessive compulsion that overshadowed his professional responsibilities. The summaries below provide a day-by-day account of Rose's betting behavior, detailing the bets placed and the communication network that facilitated these activities.

If you just started reading this series I suggest starting with Part One.

V. SUMMARY OF BETTING ACTIVITY IN 1987

Listed below are some observations which are intended to assist the reader in comprehending and following the summary, particularly the telephone traffic, as well as explanations of certain terminology used in the summary.

1. The summary includes the games listed on Rose's betting sheets, the games listed in Janszen's notebook, and the games listed in Peters' records.

2. Peters' betting sheets record the bets as they were called in by Janszen. These bets included Pete Rose's standardized bet of $2,000 on games Rose selected, some of which Janszen also bet on for himself. Janszen's standard bet was $500. On games when Rose and Janszen both bet, Peters' sheets reflect the net amount bet on each game. The following summary reflects only the $2,000 bets which were placed for Rose. It should be noted that, approximately once every two weeks, at Mike Bertolini's request, Janszen placed bets for Bertolini with Peters on some games. Therefore, a small number of bets reflected on Peters' sheets could be for Bertolini.

3. References to telephone calls placed by Paul Janszen should be understood to include the possibility that Janszen's girlfriend, Danita Marcum, placed the call. Marcum has testified that she occasionally placed calls to the bookmakers.

4. Reference in the summary to calls to Chevashore and to Val are to Tampa, Florida, and New York, New York, respectively.

5. Calls to the "sports line" provide the caller with a tape-recorded message of the latest scores of sports activity. The phone records of Janszen and Rose indicate hundreds of calls to sports lines. Various sports line numbers were called. The 976-1313 number was called at numerous area codes, including 212 (Manhattan), 718 (Brooklyn), 404 (Atlanta), 312 (Chicago) and the 900-toll prefix.

6. The Reds' clubhouse telephone logs indicate incoming and outgoing telephone calls. Where the "in" box on the log is checked, that means the player was the recipient of the call, i.e., the call was incoming. Where the "out" box on the log is checked, that means the player was the caller, i.e., the call was outgoing. In those cases where someone called a player and he was not in or unavailable, a message was taken by the operator and given to the player. The message pads used by the Reds' operator did not have carbon copies, so there are no records of messages left for the players.

7. Certain source documents supply less information about the nature of the telephone traffic. For instance, some of the Reds' hotel bills do not indicate the length of the call or the time it was placed. Some hotel bills do not list long distance numbers called, and so were not included in the summary.

8. Janszen often travelled with Rose when the Reds were on the road.

9. Janszen and Marcum both testified that they spent considerable time at Pete Rose's home and made calls from there to bookmakers to place bets for Rose.

10. Any sports betting subsequent to June 14, 1987, could only involve baseball, as the NBA playoffs and hockey playoffs had concluded by that date.

11. It is significant that the telephone traffic and betting are at a virtual standstill from May 14 through May 16, 1987. During this period, Val refused to take any more of Rose's bets and the betting connection had not yet been reestablished with Peters.

12. A more detailed description of telephone calls is included in the separate chronology.
