From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Dowd Report
is the
document
describing the transgressions of baseball player and manager
Pete Rose
in
betting
on
baseball
, which precipitated his agreement to a permanent ban from the sport in the
United States
. The 225-page report was prepared by Special Counsel to the Commissioner
John M. Dowd
and was submitted to
Commissioner
Bart Giamatti
in May 1989. The report, published in June 1989, was accompanied by seven volumes of exhibits, which included bank and telephone records, alleged betting records, expert reports, and transcripts of interviews with Rose and other witnesses.

Rose was ultimately placed on baseball's ineligible list in August 1989.
[2]
The most controversial conclusion of the report, that Rose had bet on baseball games while managing the
Cincinnati Reds
, was confirmed 15 years later by Rose himself through his
autobiography
My Prison Without Bars
.
Dowd later donated the Dowd Report collections to his alma mater,
Emory University School of Law
, in 2015.
