According to Danny Gallagher of the Montreal Gazette, betting on baseball wasn't the only thing Pete Rose did that could make people around the sport unhappy.
Joe Jammer was a groundskeeper for the Montreal Expos for 11 seasons, one of which was the 1984 campaign when Rose was on the team. He told Gallagher the hit king corked his bats as a player and had help from someone in the visitors' clubhouse at Olympic Stadium.
"Pete was too smart to deal with Expos equipment manager John Silverman [to cork his bats in the Expos' clubhouse]," Jammer said.
