(Las Vegas, NV) — Baseball’s hit king, Pete Rose, has died at the age of 83. Rose passed away Monday at his home in Las Vegas. Rose accumulated 42-hundred-56 hits over a career that spanned 24 seasons, but was banned from the sport after it was determined he bet on games. A switch hitter, Rose played most of his career for the Cincinnati Reds, but also spent time with the Philadelphia Phillies and Montreal Expos. Rose returned to Cincinnati where he finished his career as a player manager. In addition to being the 1963 NL Rookie of the Year, Rose was a 17-time All-Star, won three World Series and was the 1973 Most Valuable Player.
