Pete Rose: 'I am in poor health and disabled ... and have trouble walking'

Former Big Red Machine great and Hit King Pete Rose says he is "in poor health and disabled" in a report Friday morning by TMZ Sports, and court documents obtained by the website state that the 77-year-old Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer "is currently disabled and can barely walk or travel."

"His health is deteriorating and has a heart condition and on blood thinners," the documents add, per the report from TMZ Sports. Rose told TMZ he makes $453,000 per year, but has major expenses including attorney's fees and other "great debts."

In June, Cameo - self-described as "a platform where fans can request personalized video shoutouts from their favorite influencers, athletes, and celebrities" - is promoting a video autograph with Father's Day wishes from Pete Rose for dads and grandfathers who are fans of Rose - for $150.
