Reds Pitcher Wayne Simpson Faces Bribe Bid
Federal and local authorities search for an anonymous caller who offered Reds pitcher Wayne Simpson $2,000 to throw a weekend game with Pittsburgh. Simpson, who pitched six innings in Cincinnati’s 6-3 win, reported the call at a local hotel and spoke with FBI agents before the game. He described the caller as 25 to 30, with a strong voice and an accent, and said the caller wanted Pirates third baseman Bob Robertson to be the hero in the sixth inning. Robertson batted in the sixth as planned and made a notable drive.
