Pete Rose, baseball’s banned hits leader, has died at age 83


Pete Rose, baseball’s career hits leader and fallen idol who undermined his historic achievements and Hall of Fame dreams by gambling on the game he loved has died at age 83. Cause and manner of death has not yet been determined. For fans who came of age in the 1960s and ‘70s, no player was more exciting than the Cincinnati Reds’ No. 14, "Charlie Hustle."
