In 2015, John Dowd, the prosecutor who compiled baseball’s 225-page report on Rose, said that a gambling crony of Rose’s claimed to bring him girls age 12 to 14 for spring training. Two years later, Dowd’s attorneys responded to a defamation suit filed by Rose with a sworn statement from a woman who accused Rose of raping her over the course of a relationship that began in the mid-1970s, when she was 14 or 15. In 2022, the Phillies gave Rose a chance at a rehab outing during a ceremony for the 1980 team that won the World Series, and Rose torched it by responding to questions about the rape allegations with, “It was 55 years ago, babe.”
