Penthouse magazine said in an article published Thursday that Don Zimmer bet $3,000 to $5,000 weekly on football and basketball games while he was manager of the Chicago Cubs. Author Jerome
Tuccille said Zimmer admitted that baseball officials questioned him about gambling, but Zimmer insisted that he only bet legally, on dog races. “Major league baseball spoke to me about

(Zimmer) is concerned, the case was closed.” MORE TO READ
