I agree with Pete he's the best ambassador baseball has.
I guess that means he felt his team could win every night and managed them appropriately.
Good to know.
Now put him in the Hall where he belongs
Im a supporter of Pete in the hall but there has to become a time when he just goes away for a while.
Rose's earlier take on the Dowd Report:"In my judgment, I don't think there are any circumstances that justify his return to the game... If you let Rose back in, then the message to anyone who gambles and gambles on the game is that if you throw enough of a public relations tantrum and admit that you did it, then you ought to be back in the game.""It was a hatchet job, a piece of crap."
John Dowd On NPR 2003
Did he bet the same amount?
She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning
17 years ago would have been better timing, Pete.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
From my days in the restaurant world in Cincinnati, where a lot of "middle man" work between bookies and their customers went on, I have it on pretty good authority that he was betting thousands of dollars per week on the Reds. But it is also likely that Pete didn't place the bets himself; he probably had one of his gym buddies was doing it. Whether it was the same amount or not I don't know, but it was pretty common then for regulars to bet the same amount every time.
Trivia- anybody know where the center of the Cincinnati gambling universe was back then?
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
I sincerely wish Pete would just go away. Continued exposure does him no good IMO.
School's out. What did you expect?
Pete would likely be better served to keep his mouth shut on those topics. He can't be believed and saying he bet on his own team to win every night is the only tenable position. What is likely to come out of Pete's mouth is whatever tripe he thinks is the most self-serving at the moment.
