- By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole

- <p> "I know I can't gamble on anything anymore because I can't
- control it. I need help." That admission is a surprising
- turnaround by Pete Rose, who in August denied that betting was
- a problem or that he needed help of any kind. Why the change?
- "I bottomed out by losing my occupation," the former Cincinnati
- manager said last week. And when he realized that gambling had
- taken baseball -- "something I love very dearly" -- out of his
- life, he started seeing a psychiatrist. In the brand-new
- biography Pete Rose: My Story, written with Roger Kahn, he
- swears, once again, that he never bet on his own sport.
