MLB legend Pete Rose has died at the age of 83, TMZ Sports has learned.

Rose, Major League Baseball's hit king, passed away earlier today at his home in Las Vegas.

Pete's agent, Ryan Fiterman of Fiterman Sports, confirmed the news, saying, "the family is asking for privacy at this time."

Pete was one of the greatest baseball players to ever grace a diamond, earning 17 All-Star Game nods, winning three World Series and the 1973 N.L. MVP.

Rose accumulated an astounding 4,256 hits over his 24-season career.

Rose spent the majority of his legendary career with the Cincinnati Reds, but also played for the Philadelphia Phillies and Montreal Expos, before returning to Cinci and finishing his career as a player-manager.

Rose hung up the spikes for good (as a player) in 1986.

Of course, Rose wasn't without controversy. He was banned from baseball by MLB commissioner Bart Giamatti in 1989 after the league determined he'd bet on baseball.

Up until the time before sports betting became legal, it was still considered illegal to bet on baseball, especially when it was on your own team, and especially bad when you were acting as the manager of said team. That was the rule of all sports, including baseball. I believe it’s still illegal to bet on professional sports, especially when you belong to the team that you’re competing on. I agree, that betting on professional sports has changed, and betting on sports is now legal.but I also believe that there should be no betting on teams and sports that you’re directly involved with. Betting on professional sports was once reserved for non sports figures. As for if Rose should be inducted in to the baseball HOF?, I still believe that is the commissioner’s decision, b/c at the time Rose was involved with baseball in the non betting era, especially by players and managers. If the commissioner makes the decision to induct Rose posthumously, that would make sense.
