PEOPLE, Page 96Calling Off All BetsBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
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.
