Baseball legend Pete Rose dies at 83

( KRON ) — Baseball legend Pete Rose died Monday at the age of 83. Rose’s complicated legacy includes being MLB’s all-time hits leader but being banned from the league for gambling on games.

He died Monday morning in his Las Vegas home, TMZ said. The outlet did not reveal a cause of death.

Rose played in MLB from 1963-1986, most notably as part of the Cincinnati Reds’ Big Red Machine teams that won the 1975 and 1976 World Series. Rose won another World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980.

His decorated career also includes 17 All-Star Games, three batting titles and one MVP award. His 4,256 hits are the most in MLB history.

However, Rose is notably not in the Baseball Hall of Fame due to his admission to gambling on games. Rose wrote in his book that he bet on Reds games while playing and managing for the team, though he said he never bet against the Reds. He was banned from baseball in 1989.

Rose’s exclusion from the Hall of Fame remains a controversial subject in the baseball world.

Rose is the second sports legend to die in recent days. The NBA announced Monday that Basketball Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo died at 58 after battling brain cancer.
