Manager Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds has taken the offensive to counter what he says are erroneous reports that he gave his 1975 World Series ring to a convicted Massachusetts bookmaker.
A Boston newspaper reported Sunday that Rose had given his 1975 championship ring to bookmaker Joseph Cambra of Somerset, Mass., as payment for a gambling debt. But Rose has put his three Series championship rings--from 1975, 1976 and 1980--on display at the Kentucky National Bank’s downtown Cincinnati office “just to lay that rumor to rest.”
Rose said the 1975 ring that Cambra possesses is a replica that he authorized.
