Pete Rose, who holds the Major League Baseball record for hits and games played, has died at the age of 83, according to a spokesperson for the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner in Nevada.
The hard-charging Rose, nicknamed “Charlie Hustle,” broke Ty Cobb’s 57-year-old hits record in 1985.
After his playing career, Rose continued as manager of the Reds.
In 1989, Rose was banned from baseball for life after an investigation concluded that he had bet on games while he was both a Reds player and manager.
Over the years, Rose applied for reinstatement as well as possible inclusion into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
