Piet RoosMajor League Baseball’s all-time hit king, who was famously banished from the Hall of Fame, has reportedly died at age 83, his agent, Ryan Fitermanconfirmed TMZ Sports on Monday (September 30), adding that Rose’s “family requests privacy at this time.”

Rose holds the MLB record for hits (4,256), at-bats (14,053), at-bats (15,890) and games played (3,562) during a 24-year career with the Cincinnati Reds (1963-78, 1984-86); Phillies (1979-1983); and Montreal Expos (1984). The Cincinnati native accepted a permanent ban on his Hall of Fame candidacy due to gambling allegations while he was manager of the Reds in 1989. He publicly denied the allegations for years before finally admitting in 2004 that he had bet on baseball and on the Reds.

“I bet on my team every night. I didn’t bet on my team four nights a week,” Rose said during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show in 2007 the Washington Post.

“I bet my team to win every night because I love my team and I believe in my team,” he added. “I did everything I could every night to win that game.”
