Pete Rose still isn’t going into the Baseball Hall of Fame. While the career hits leader’s banishment from baseball 35 years ago was often referred to as a lifetime ban, and his death this week led some to believe that would end, Rose agreed to permanent ineligibility from Major League Baseball following a probe of his betting on the game.

Although it’s often said that Pete Rose received a “lifetime ban,” baseball’s all-time hits leader was actually declared “permanently ineligible” in 1989.

The cause of death of baseball icon Pete Rose has been revealed. Rose died of heart disease at his Las Vegas home on Monday, September 30, according to a coroner’s report reviewed by the Cincinnati Enquirer.
