Pete Rose, MLB’s polarizing all-time hits leader, dead at 83, agent says

Pete Rose, the polarizing MLB all-time hits leader with 4,256 over his legendary 24-year career, has died at 83 years old. 

Rose’s agent, Ryan Fiterman, of Fiterman Sports, confirmed the death to TMZ Sports. He told the outlet, “the family is asking for privacy at this time.”

Rose broke out with his hometown Cincinnati Reds, the team he played 19 of his 24 seasons with, three of which he also served as acting manager, in 1963 and he went on to make league history, while securing three World Series titles along the way. 

Nicknamed “Charlie Hustle” for his relentless drive when on the diamond, Rose was league MVP in 1973, a 17-time All-Star, three-time batting title winner, Rookie of the Year, and World Series MVP in his career.
