Be curious to see how long he had diabetes.

He died of hustle. He hustled his heart out his whole life. Every time he sent a baseball down range, he sent little piece of his heart with it.

What are the odds he would die like that?

Of course.
It’s a Hall of Fame, not a Hall of Saints.
So many HOFers lived less than virtuous lives. Election should be based on objective standards.

Afterthought put Shoeless Joe Jackson in. Shoeless Joe, never gambled on or threw a game. He was banned for life because he knew about trammates plans to throw the series, but never participated. A far, far less crime than Rose who bet on games he played in and managed in.

Air travel can be rough on an elderly person with health problems.
The stress helped push him over the edge.

Since nobody else had the common decency to post it here (and save you clicking on another link), I'll do it.

It was HEART DISEASE.

Agree. The BB HOF is full of a long line of a-holes far worse than Pete Rose.

And the fact that pretty much all professional sports and sports broadcasts outlets advertise (often, on air) - looking at you, TNT - betting sites makes them huge hippocrites.
