Pete Rose, Baseball's Hit King, Dies at 83

Rose, known for his record-breaking career and controversial gambling ban, leaves a complex legacy in the sport.

Pete Rose holds the record for most career hits in Major League Baseball with 4,256, surpassing Ty Cobb's previous record.
Rose's relentless competitiveness earned him the nickname 'Charlie Hustle,' exemplified by his head-first slides and running out walks.
Despite his on-field achievements, Rose was permanently banned from baseball in 1989 for betting on games, including those involving his own team.
Rose was a versatile player, starting over 500 games at five different positions and earning 17 All-Star selections.
His off-field controversies, including a prison sentence for tax evasion and allegations of an inappropriate relationship, have marred his legacy and kept him out of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
