Baseball Commissioner Bart Giamatti is contemplating asking a federal court for permission to take action against Pete Rose for gambling allegations the Cincinnati Reds’ manager does not contest, the commissioner’s lawyer said.
A temporary restraining order issued June 25 by Judge Norbert A. Nadel of the Hamilton County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court prevents Giamatti from acting against the Cincinnati manager.
U.S. District Judge John D. Holschuh ruled Monday that the suit belongs in federal court.
Rose admitted in April that he has bet on football and basketball games through illegal bookmakers.
