Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose has passed away

CINCINNATI – Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose has died, according to multiple reports. The Cincinnati native who attended Western Hills High School and spent most of his career with the Reds died at the age of 83.

During his career, the 17-time All-Star won three World Series championships, was named National League and World Series MVP and received two Gold Glove Awards. His number 14 is retired in Cincinnati and he is in the Reds Hall of Fame.

The MLB hitting king was barred from baseball in 1989 — making him permanently ineligible for the Hall of Fame — after allegations that he gambled on baseball games while playing and managing the Reds. He has requested reinstatement several times, but Commissioner Rob Manfred has denied his requests.
