Pete Rose’s supervisors at Cincinnati Public Schools where he performed his court-ordered community service work told commissioner Fay Vincent in a letter that Rose was a model worker.

Cecil Good, the district’s assistant superintendent, said he did not tell Rose about the letter.

“I am writing in the hope that our experience will be of interest and assistance as you ultimately consider his future in baseball,” Good wrote Vincent.

Rose was ordered by a judge to perform 1,000 hours of community service as part of his sentence for cheating on income taxes.
