My understanding is that there won't be a deal unless he admits he bet on baseball. I thought for years he would never admit it. Now, I don't know.

If you had a jury and said, 'We have one segment of evidence and we're going to present it,' that would be it. There is nothing else to bet on [but baseball during the summer months]. The bookie told us Rose called him every night. So we had his end of the conversation. We had the phone records. I mean how clear can it be?

[Then Reds owner] Marge Schott , who was cheap, didn't like the players or the manager calling long distance from the clubhouse,

He is calling from the clubhouse. He is putting the bet down on the team.

Almost always he bet on the Reds, but some nights he wouldn't because he didn't like the pitcher. He didn't like Mario Soto and some nights he wouldn't bet when Soto was pitching. So then the bookie knows, 'Well, Rose is not betting tonight.' You can imagine how quickly that traveled.

We think he made money betting on baseball. And people are stupid. They say, 'Why do you care if he bet on his own team?' Well, that is the point, you care because that night when he is betting he brings in his best relief pitcher. The next night when he isn't betting he can bring in anybody. The game is corrupted.

There were death threats on Bart and then on me,

They were young, just out of college in those days,

The final ballots represent players, managers, executives and builders who are top-tier candidates and worthy of review for consideration for election to the Hall of Fame.

[Fay Vincent, the former baseball commissioner, made his own assessment. A couple of weeks ago he resigned from the board of trustees at the Jesuit-run Fairfield University and refused to accept an honorary degree from Sacred Heart University to protest what happened to Reese.] I'm really worried that some Catholic organizations, especially universities, are at some risk, ... How can you call yourself a university without free debate?

This is an effort that is 30 years too late. This should have been done when a lot of them were alive.

The whole history of this issue of race in our society is a topic that involves very bad timing. These people who were candidates were greatly honored by being candidates, I'm sure, but it would have been so much nicer had we been able to do this 30 or 40 years ago and have so many more alive.

Buck O'Neil has been a great credit to baseball. He's a friend of all of ours. He has credentials that are absolutely wonderful. (But) the committee did not elect Buck O'Neil.

We gave each candidate a fair hearing, and I think the results will speak for themselves.

This is a great honor and an historic moment in the history of the Hall of Fame. What a great sadness there is that we didn't do this 30 or 40 years earlier. . . . These people who were candidates were greatly honored by being candidates, I'm sure, but it would have been nicer had we been able to do this 30 or 40 years ago and have so many more alive. So, I'm sorry we're late, but I'm proud that we're doing it.
