European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - May 21, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Sunday May 21.1989 the stars and stripes Page 23 commentary Rose s troubles not taxing hot reds am. Around Pete Rose the land mines arc in place ready to explode at any moment. A Federal grand jury is scrutinizing the manager s income tax returns and a two month investigation into gambling allegations against Rose produced a 225-Page report prompting a hearing next thursday with commissioner a. Bart sctt of Amati. Rose s attorneys have asked Giamatti for a 30-Day postponement of the hearing to better prepare his Case. Giamatti will Rule on the Reques monday. See sports wire on Page 27. The last Lime Rose had a hearing with Giammatti the manager was suspended 30 Days and fined $10.000 for bumping an Umpire. And there were no grand juries and no 225-Page reports floating around then. Even though it has been a Little thorny in Rose s Garden this Spring his troubles have had almost no Impact on his bal club. The Cincinnati reds Are sail ing along at the top of the National league s West division prospering despite the problems of the Man who Calls the shots for them. It has t bothered us at All said in Franco the Ace of the reds bullpen who had 13 saves and a win in his first 15 appearances. This is a bal club with a lot of character. It s like when it first began in Spring training. He said. You Guys worry about win Ning. Let me worry about Pete Rose " that agreement has worked out Well for both sides. After the initial Shock and the endless questions resulted in a week Long clubhouse ban for re porters during Spring training the reds Are open about the Rose affair. It s Pete s business not  third baseman Chris Sabo said. It s Tough because there arc lot More Media. To cameras and stuff. But they bother Pete not us. Mostly they want to talk to him. Pete said he s not guilty of All the stuff they be said about him. And that s Good enough for me. 1 see no reason not to believe him. If you ask me it s been handled very poorly Amateur richly. It s been two months and we still Sec it going on All the time. Well All be relieved when it s  As this week s hearing with Giammatti approached the Rose watch intensified again. It s like a Warmup for the playoffs and world series with All the Media around Here Franco  re beginning to like it. I think it s helped him that we re playing Good. That takes some of the pres sure off  perhaps but there docs seem to be a conscious Effort to tread lightly around Rose these Days. His Post game meetings with the Media grew too Large for his clubhouse of flick and were moved into an Auxilia Etc roses reds stand atop National Leacue West. By room Down the Hall at riverfront stadium. Occasionally a reporter will ask about the manager s problems and not the game. Rose bristles at thai and says any More baseball questions first baseman Todd Ben incr brings a unique perspective to All this turmoil. He was in Loston Las season when the Wade Boggs Margo Adams affair became Public turning the red sox into something More than a baseball Story. Then he got traded to the reds just in time for another piece of non baseball business to erupt. When the Wade Story became big news it coincided with the team starting to win. And we kept on   said. The thing with Pete has been going on since Spring training and we re i first place. These arc two situations where you d think the team would have a hard Lime getting Over them and that they d have a negative effect. Yet i be seen it twice and both limes it affected the team in a positive Way. You re talking about two extraordinary people two of the greatest hitters who Ever played two Guys who arc Able to Block things out. They get most of the heat and the questions and they be handled it so Well. It has t affected Pete As a manager or Wade As a Hitler. They just Don t let it bother  the club s official position on the affair has been averse no comment. The investigation after All. Has been entered on Rose not the reds. But general manager Murray Cook thinks the affair has helped the team in its own Way. With the Media focus on Pete there s been very Little on the players he said. It s a Blessing 19 some degree. It reduces whatever pressure there might otherwise be on  and Cook says the circus atmosphere this Issue created off the Field has not spread on it. You know players have a penchant for being Able to put things aside when they Are on the Field he said. When you re playing the game you shut the outside world out for 2 a hours. Pete did it him self with the 4,192 hit record and the 44-game hit Ting Streak. It s the psychology of the athlete to shut off the outside world while performing especially in a mental game like baseball As for Rose Cook said the manager has handled the heat with no trouble. Pete s been Fine. He dispatched his duties quite  nobody knows Rose better than reds coach Tony Perez a teammate from the big red machine Davs. He echoed Cook saying the reds manager is holding up quite nicely thank you. Pete s the same Guy he always  Perez said. He has t changed at All. Everybody knows there s pressure on him but he does t bring it in Here. It s not affecting the Guy in charge. Why should ii affect the team. And it  has t. The reds went into the weekend series against Chicago with five wins in the last six games and the most victories in the National league. Eventually however affaire Rose did affect the team s schedule. When Abc noted thursday s hearing Dale be Wicen Rose and Giamatti it scheduled Cincinnati s game at Chicago for saturday s game of the week telecast. That required changing the game from night to Day an option that is part of the network s con tract. It s just one More Rose related distraction for the reds to ignore.
