Bartlett Giamatti, he produced the Dowd Report which detailed Rose's betting on baseball games in the 1980s, including teams Rose was managing at the time. The report led to Rose's lifetime ban in August 1989. The current investigation issued by baseball commissioner Bud Selig led by George J. Mitchell has been compared to that led by Dowd.
