The FBI released 130 pages of documents related to Pete Rose, focusing on Ronald Peters and mid-1980s narcotics and bookmaking investigations Peters ran. The released material overlaps some information from the 1989 Dowd Report. Rose was banned in 1989 after an investigation showed he bet on baseball; MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred removed Rose from the permanently ineligible list in May, restoring Hall of Fame eligibility. The FBI release contains no explicit mention of Rose betting on baseball despite his later acknowledgment. Rose died Sept. 30, 2024, at 83. The release redacted many names and withheld 125 additional pages for privacy and source-protection reasons.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has released 130 pages of documents relating to Pete Rose, Major League Baseball's all-time hits leader who was subsequently banned from the game and the Baseball Hall of Fame until earlier this year for betting on baseball. The documents focus on Rose's deceased bookie, Ronald Peters, and a mid-1980s investigation into narcotics and bookmaking operations that Peters ran.
Rose was banned from baseball in 1989 following an investigation that showed he bet on baseball. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred removed Rose from the permanently ineligible list in May, allowing him to be eligible for Hall of Fame induction. There is no specific mention of Rose betting on baseball - something he eventually acknowledged having done - in the documents released by the FBI.
After an individual dies, the FBI publicly releases records it maintains on individuals, often with redactions. Many names in the Rose file have been redacted. It is not clear if there will be further releases of Rose-related files. In this release, 125 additional pages were deleted as duplicates or for reasons such as inter-agency or intra-agency memos, personnel or medical files, an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or the revealing of the identity of a confidential source.
