“A ‘great player’ who showed unrivaled performance as a player but tarnished his reputation by committing an indelible crime as a coach has been laid to rest.”

‘MLB.com’, the official media of American professional baseball’s Major League Baseball (MLB), reported the following on the 1st when covering the news of former Cincinnati coach Pete Rose’s passing. Rose passed away on the 1st at the age of 83. Rose holds the MLB record for most hits (4,256), but he was permanently banned from MLB for betting money on the team he was leading during his time as a manager.

As evaluated by local American media such as MLB.com and ESPN, Rose lived a life filled with glory and shame. Rose played for Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Montreal for 24 seasons from 1963 to 1986, appearing in a total of 3,562 games and recording a batting average of 0.303, 160 home runs, 1,314 RBI, and 198 stolen bases. As a switch hitter, he played in the most games in MLB history and took off his uniform after recording the most hits. He won the batting title three times and was selected as an All-Star 17 times. He was also selected as the National League Rookie of the Year (1963) and the league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP, 1973). He also won the World Series three times (1975, 1976, and 1980) and was selected as World Series MVP in 1975.

However, Rose was permanently suspended by MLB in 1989 after it was revealed that he had bet on his own team’s games as the Cincinnati manager. Because of this, he was not inducted into the Hall of Fame. The following year, in 1990, he was found guilty of tax evasion and was imprisoned for five months.

Even after being permanently banned from baseball, Rose insisted that he “never gambled on baseball,” and only admitted to gambling on baseball in 2004. In 2016, the Cincinnati team welcomed him back by retiring his number 14 as a player and inducting him into the club’s Hall of Fame.
