Pete Rose, baseball’s controversial all-time hits leader, dies at 83
Pete Rose, who won two World Series titles with his hometown Cincinnati Reds on his path to breaking the all-time hits record but whose stardom disintegrated after he was caught gambling on his team as manager, leading to his banishment from the game and exclusion from the Hall of Fame, died Sept. 30 in Clark County, Nev. He was 83.
His death was confirmed by the county medical examiner’s office, which did not share additional details.
Known as Charlie Hustle for his aggressive and showy style of play — diving headfirst into bases, sprinting to first base after a walk — Mr. Rose was also one of baseball’s most popular, versatile and polarizing players during his 24-year playing career.
