IV. Documentary Evidence

B. Paul Janszen's Betting Notebook

Paul Janszen provided us with copies of 22 pages from a notebook which he has testified reflects the bets that he (or Danita Marcum) placed for Pete Rose on basketball, baseball and hockey from April 17, 1987 until May 13, 1987.[450] The individual pages of the notebook are dated and contain team names grouped according to sport, e.q., baseball, basketball and hockey. Each team listed is preceded by a "W" or "L," and followed by a number such as "+2000" or "-2000." Most of the days contain an entry for the Reds. The last sheet from the notebook contains an entry "10,900 Val." Mr. Dibowski concluded that it was "probable" that the handwriting on the 22 pages was that of Janszen, except for 3 entries written by Marcum.[451]
