Must be our day for baseball and gambling news. Per ESPN, here's 130 pages of bedtime PDF reading.
The documents focus on Rose's deceased bookie, Ronald Peters, and a mid-1980s investigation into narcotics and bookmaking operations that Peters ran. Some of the information in the released Rose file appears to have been covered in the 1989 Dowd report, commissioned by Major League Baseball.
Guys walking into a bar with briefcases chained to their wrists, per one page of the FBI info? Always a classic.
As for how problematic this had gotten for Rose? This:
A summary of a July 1987 interview with a redacted individual said that person was in a business partnership with Rose until Rose's "gambling debts created a financial problem for him." The individual ended the partnership with Rose but remained in touch with both him and Peters, the summary said.
Makes you "exploitable" by someone, or make your kneecaps vulnerable.

Now do the Epstein list
He should still be in the HOF….. he just didn’t have an interpreter to fall back on….
Fuck Pete Rose.
Now get whatever goods the Philly and New York families had on Pete.
