MLB legend Pete Rose has died at the age of 83, according to a report.
Rose, considered to be one of the greatest baseball players in MLB history, is said to have passed away Monday at his home in Las Vegas.
Rose’s agent, Ryan Fiterman, confirmed the news, via TMZ, saying, ‘the family is asking for privacy at this time.’
Rose spent the majority of his baseball career with the Cincinnati Reds but also enjoyed stints with the Philadelphia Phillies and Montreal Expos.
The MLB hit king earned 17 All-Star Game nods, winning three World Series and the 1973 N.L. MVP.

He returned to Cincinnati, where he finished his career as a player-manager for the Reds, hanging up his spikes as a player for good in 1986.
However, Rose’s career on the diamond wasn’t without controversy. In 1989, he was banned from baseball by then-MLB commissioner Bart Giamatti after the league determined he’d bet on the sport.
Rose’s death is one of several to rock Major League Baseball in 2024, including the passing of Giants legends Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda.
