Pete Rose passed away Monday at the age of 83, TMZ reported Monday night.
One of the greatest — and most controversial — players in Major League Baseball history has died.“The family is asking for privacy at this time.”He remains the all-time MLB hit leader with 4,256 while making 17 All-Star Games across five different positions and earning the 1973 National League Most Valuable Player award. He also captured three World Series titles over an incredible 24-year career, the majority of which he spent with the Cincinnati Reds.
Rose was given a lifetime ban from baseball by then-MLB commissioner Bart Giamatti in August 1989 following an investigation into whether Rose had bet on baseball. Rose, at the time, denied the allegations, saying he wagered on other sports but not on baseball. Rose was one of the biggest celebrities aligned with World Wrestling Entertainment in the late 1990s and early 2000s, appearing at a handful of Wrestlemania events. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004, as the first member of the “Celebrity Wing.”
