Before his death, Pete Rose was known for his impressive statistics and personality in MLB. From his playing days with and managing the Cincinnati Reds to his gambling scandal, the late baseball star was nicknamed «Charlie Hustle» for his determination and skill in the league. Rose’s death came as a shock to the baseball world and his fans, with many wanting to know the cause of his death. In the years leading up to his death, Rose claimed that his health was deteriorating.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ in September 2018, Rose stated that he was «disabled and can barely walk or travel».
«His health is deteriorating, he has heart disease and he is taking blood thinners», - the documents, which were part of Rose’s divorce from his ex-wife Carol Rose, stated. The court statement also claimed that Rose’s health was «deteriorating» at that time.
The cause of Rose’s death remains unclear at the time of publication. According to reports, his relatives found him dead at home on September 30, 2024. In the days leading up to his death, Rose had attended an autograph show in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Cincinnati Reds mourned the loss of their former manager in a statement released through X (formerly known as Twitter). Team owner Bob Castellini called Rose «one of the fiercest competitors the game has ever seen, and every team he played for got better because of him».
«Pete was a true Red», - Castellini continued in his statement. «No one loved the game more than Pete, and no one loved Pete more than Red Country. We should never forget what he achieved».
In 1989, Rose was accused of gambling and betting on the Reds while he was their manager. He was subsequently deemed ineligible for induction into the MLB Hall of Fame. Initially, the former switch-hitter denied the gambling allegations.
In the early 2000s, Rose finally admitted to betting on his own team. In a 2007 interview with ESPN Radio, the late athlete said that he «bet on his team to win every night because he loved his team».
«I did everything I could every night to win that game», - he added during the interview. «I made a big mistake. It’s my fault, no one else’s fault»
