Pete Rose, known as Major League Baseball's hit king who was later banned for betting on games, has died, the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner in Nevada confirmed to CBS News. He was 83. A Clark County spokesperson said his cause of death had not yet been determined.
The Cincinnati Reds star racked up 4,256 hits, beating Ty Cobb's record. But his career would end in scandal, as the then-manager of the Reds received a lifetime ban from the sport for gambling.
Rose was a two-time World Series winner with the Reds and also won a World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies. He also played for the Montreal Expos before finishing his career with the Reds. But in 1989, he was deemed permanently ineligible — including for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
