Pete Rose<\/strong><\/a> was known for his gambling controversy and his record-breaking batting average while playing for the Cincinnati Reds. But on the field, he is remembered for his skillful management of the team. After news broke of Rose\u2019s death<\/a> in September 2024, the Reds\u2019 owner, Bob Castellini, credited Rose for his personality and his love for the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hearts are deeply saddened by the news of Pete\u2019s passing,\u201d Castellini said in a statement, which the Reds shared via X <\/a>(formerly known as Twitter). \u201cHe was one of the fiercest competitors the game has ever seen, and every team he played for was better because of him. Pete was a Red through and through. No one loved the game more than Pete and no one loved Pete more than Reds Country. We must never forget what he accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hollywood Life<\/strong> has rounded up five facts about Pete Rose, below.<\/p>\n

Pete Was an MLB Player<\/h2>\n

Rose got his start as a Major League Baseball player for the Cincinnati Reds in 1963. In 1978, the switch hitter went on to play for the Philadelphia Phillies followed by the Montreal Expos. However, in 1984, Rose returned to Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

He Was Also an MLB Manager<\/h2>\n

After playing for the Reds for a second round, Rose worked as the team\u2019s manager until 1989 \u2014 when he was accused of gambling and betting on his own team.<\/p>\n

Pete Admitted to Gambling<\/h2>\n

In the early 2000s, Rose admitted that he had gambled during his years working for the MLB. Per ESPN<\/a>, he said in 2007 that he would \u201cbet on [his] team to win every night because [he loves his] team\u201d and believed in them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did everything in my power every night to win that game,\u201d he added during his ESPN Radio interview at the time. \u201cI made a big mistake. It\u2019s my fault, It\u2019s nobody\u2019s else\u2019s fault.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Pete Is Not in the MLB Hall of Fame<\/h2>\n

After he was accused of gambling, the MLB Hall of Fame made Rose ineligible for induction.<\/p>\n

He Is Married With Children<\/h2>\n

Rose married his first wife, Karolyn Englehardt<\/strong>, in 1964, and they share children Fawn and Pete Jr. Rose and Englehardt divorced in 1980. In 1984, Rose married his second wife, Carol J. Woliung<\/strong>, and they share son Tyler and daughter Cara together. The now-ex-spouses split in 2011. The former MLB manager also has a daughter named Megan Erin Rubio, whom he shares with another woman.<\/p>\n
