Pete Rose, known for his years of playing and managing the Cincinnati Reds, passed away at the age of 83. According to many reports, he was found by family members, and a medical examiner is investigating the cause of death. After Rose’s death, the Reds released a statement.
«Our hearts are deeply saddened by the news of Pete’s passing», - said Cincinnati Reds owner Bob Castellini in a statement released by the team via X (formerly known as Twitter). «He was one of the fiercest competitors the game has ever seen, and every team he played for became better because of him. Pete was a true 'Red'. No one loved the game more than Pete, and no one loved Pete more than the 'Reds Country'. We should never forget what he achieved».
Rose began his Major League Baseball career as a player for the Cincinnati Reds. Although he later played for the Philadelphia Phillies and the Montreal Expos, Rose returned to the Reds in 1984 and played until 1986. He then became the manager of the Reds and led the team until 1989.
During his final year as the Reds' manager, Rose was involved in a scandal over allegations that he was betting on games. He was accused of betting on his own team. Although he initially denied all allegations, in 2004 Rose admitted to betting as a manager and as a player. Rose was banned for life from MLB.
The cause of death has not yet been determined. Rose was reportedly found dead by a family member on September 30, 2024. He was 83 years old.
A few days before his death, Rose attended an autograph show in Nashville, Tennessee, with some of his former teammates, according to the Associated Press.
Nicknamed «Charlie Hustle» in his MLB career, Rose amassed a significant fortune of $ 3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
