Pete Rose, MLB’s all-time hits leader, died Monday afternoon at age 83, Yahoo Sports reported.

Stephanie Wheatley, a spokesperson for Clark County in Nevada, confirmed on behalf of the medical examiner that Rose died Monday. Wheatley said his cause and manner of death had not yet been determined.

Rose, a Cincinnati native, spent 24 seasons in Major League Baseball, starting with the Reds in 1963. He won two World Series titles with the team in 1975 and 1976, breaking a 35-year championship drought for the club. After 16 seasons with the Reds, Rose played five years with the Philadelphia Phillies, winning his third World Series in 1980. He briefly joined the Montreal Expos in 1984 before returning to Cincinnati to conclude his playing career.

For fans who came of age in the 1960s and ‘70s, no player was more exciting than the Cincinnati Reds’ No. 14, “Charlie Hustle,” the brash superstar with the shaggy hair, puggish nose and muscular forearms. At the dawn of artificial surfaces, divisional play and free agency, Rose was old school, a conscious throwback to baseball’s early days. Millions could never forget him crouched and scowling at the plate, running full speed to first even after drawing a walk, or sprinting for the next base and diving headfirst into the bag.

Rose retired with 4,256 hits, the most in MLB history, joining Ty Cobb as one of only two players to surpass 4,000 hits. He holds additional MLB records for games played (3,562), plate appearances (15,890), and at bats (14,053). His accolades include three batting titles, two Gold Glove awards, and 17 All-Star selections. Rose was named the league’s MVP in 1973, finishing the season with a .388 average, 230 hits, five home runs, and 64 RBIs.

“I am the winningest athlete in team sport history,” Rose told the Cincinnati Enquirer in 2018. “To me, my biggest record is the number of winning games I played in. And that’s also a testament to all the great teammates I played with.”

Rose also managed the Reds for seven seasons, earning two divisional titles and compiling a 412-373 record. His career ended in scandal when he was banned from baseball in 1989 for betting on games, including his own team’s games, while managing the Reds.

Despite repeated efforts to overturn the lifetime ban, including a final appeal in 2015, Rose has been denied entry to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He has expressed regret, saying gambling on games was his only misstep.
