News Channel received confirmation of Rose’s passing from the Nevada Clark County Coroner.
Fiterman Sports’ Ryan Fiterman, Rose’s representative, confirmed the demise to Sports. “The family is asking for privacy at this time,” he told the site.
In 1963, Rose made his 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 titles and create league history.
Known as “Charlie Hustle” due to his unwavering determination on the field, Rose was the 1973 league MVP, a 17-time All-Star.
Rose’s gambling scandal, which stunned the world in August 1989—his final season as the Reds manager—is what makes him so divisive. Due to allegations that he wagered on games while managing and playing for the Reds, Rose was given a permanent suspension from baseball.
