In 1978 I got a signed photograph of my favorite baseball player. It was Pete Rose. What I darn shame.

Rose says he never bet against the Reds. But the guy has a gambling problem. How plausible is it that he resisted the temptation of throwing a game or shaving a run or two?

He recounts anecdotes of his career such as taking an umpire to dinner after he was ejected from a game . . . Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a clear violation of Major League Baseball's code of ethics for umpires. They are specifically told not to fraternize with any of the players, and I believe this applies both on and off the field.
