The Clark County Coroner’s Office stated, “His cause of death was determined to be hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with a significant condition of diabetes mellitus.” “The death happened in a natural way.
On Monday night, Rose, 83, passed away.
In 1963, Rose made his major league debut with the Cincinnati Reds, the team he would play 19 of his 24 seasons with (three of which he also managed as an interim manager). Along the way, Rose would go on to win three World Series victories and create league history.
Known as “Charlie Hustle” due to his unwavering determination on the field, Rose won three batting titles, was awarded Rookie of the Year, was the 1973 league MVP, and was a 17-time All-Star.
He was a player for both the Montreal Expos and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Rose accepted to be placed on baseball’s ineligible list when he was a manager for the Reds amid charges he wagered on baseball. Rose tried to be reinstated, but her application was never approved. In 1991, baseball voters decided to exclude anyone on the ineligible list from consideration for the Hall of Fame.
It wasn’t until he published an autobiography in 2004 that he acknowledged to having bet on games.
Still, baseball had good memories of Rose.
