Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti bans then-Cincinnati Reds manager Pete Rose from the MLB for gambling. While Rose agreed to a lifetime ban, the agreement did not stand as an admission of guilt.
From the New York Post (1989): "Sources said the agreement may have been Rose’s way of clearing the decks to deal with other potential legal and tax problems stemming from his gambling."

Pete Rose’s sports betting shattered his All-American image.
