Baseball’s ‘Charlie Hustle’ Pete Rose dies
LAS VEGAS - Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose has died, according to multiple reports. The Cincinnati native spent most of his career with the Reds. He was 83.

During his career, the 17-time All-Star won three World Series championships, was named National League and World Series MVP, and received two Gold Glove Awards. His No. 14 is retired in Cincinnati and he is in the Reds Hall of Fame.

The MLB hit king was banned from baseball — making him permanently ineligible for the Hall of Fame — in 1989 after accusations that he gambled on baseball games while he played and managed the Reds. He has applied for reinstatement several times, but Commissioner Rob Manfred rejected his requests.

Rose was one of the greatest baseball players earning 17 All-Star Game nods, winning three World Series and the 1973 N.L. MVP.

Rose, who played first base, second base, and the outfield, accumulated an astounding 4,256 hits over his 24-season career.

Rose passed away Monday at his home in Las Vegas, according to TMZ.
