Rose was long known to baseball officials as a horse bettor. He was warned repeatedly by MLB officials to curtail his gambling, and in the late 1980s, Rose, then the Reds manager, was investigated to determine if any of his activity was illegal. The report revealed that Rose had bet regularly on a variety of sports, and though Rose vehemently denied it, baseball included. In August 1989, he was banned from the game then declared ineligible for election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Exposed gambling winnings caused him to spend several months in jail for evasion of taxes.

In 2002 he admitted he had bet regularly on baseball, including on games played by the Reds while he was their manager, though never against them, asserting that he “would rather die than lose a baseball game.”
