Pete Rose, a 17-time MLB All-Star and WWE Hall of Famer has passed away at 83. Known for his iconic appearances at WrestleMania in the late ’90s, Rose held a special place in both the baseball and wrestling worlds. His passing has left both communities mourning this legendary figure.
On September 30th, TMZ reported the passing of baseball legend Pete Rose at his Las Vegas home. Just before his death, he attended an autograph event in Franklin, Tennessee, but no official cause has been shared. The Clark County Medical Examiner in Nevada currently has Pete Rose’s body, and an autopsy is scheduled for later this week.
Rose, one of the greatest hitters in MLB history, won three World Series titles, was a 17-time All-Star, and the 1973 NL MVP. Known as the “Hit King,” he holds the record for most hits in MLB with 4,256.
His career ended in controversy when he was banned from baseball in 1989 for betting on games, which he later admitted to in 2004.
Rose’s death is a significant loss for the sports world. His legacy will live on through his records and the memories he created for millions of fans.
