The investigation also implicated umpire Ray Fosse, who was accused of providing Rose with inside information. Fosse was never charged with a crime, but he was suspended from baseball for two years.

The Umpire Is Out is a gripping account of this scandal, told by the two men who investigated it: John Dowd, the former U.S. Attorney who led the investigation, and Michael Sokolove, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who covered it for The New York Times.

Dowd and Sokolove take readers inside the investigation, revealing the secrets that Rose and Fosse tried to keep hidden. They also explore the larger issue of corruption in baseball, and the lengths that people will go to protect their secrets.

The Umpire Is Out is a fascinating and important book that sheds new light on one of the most infamous scandals in baseball history. It's a story that will appeal to fans of baseball, true crime, and anyone who is interested in the dark side of the American dream.
