Pete Rose, Major League Baseball's all-time hit leader, has died at the age of 83. Known as 'Charlie Hustle,' Rose was a 17-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion. Despite his achievements on the field, Rose was banned from baseball for life due to betting on games, which also barred him from the Hall of Fame. The medical examiner in Clark County, Nevada, confirmed his death. Rose's career records include 4,256 hits, 3,562 games played, and 14,053 at-bats. He was also a WWE Hall of Famer. His passing has reignited discussions about his exclusion from the Hall of Fame.
