MLB legend Pete Rose has died at the age of 83, TMZ Sports has learned.

Rose, Major League Baseball's hit king, passed away earlier today at his home in Las Vegas.

Pete's agent, Ryan Fiterman of Fiterman Sports, confirmed the news, saying, "the family is asking for privacy at this time."

Pete was one of the greatest baseball players to ever grace a diamond, earning 17 All-Star Game nods, winning three World Series and the 1973 N.L. MVP.

He got a raw deal compared to what’s going on in today’s sports.

[Round Earther]

Banned for Life.

Not quite sure if Bart intended it to be Pete’s life.

[Ann Archy]

I knew him.....he was a VERY NICE GUY that would give you the shirt off his back. RIP, Pete. I would BET $1000.00 he NEVER BET AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM!

[Jane Long]

[cquiggy]

One of the greatest players to ever play the game.

[grumpygresh]

Rose didnt give a rats ass about the H.O.F....why should anybody else?. Guy was a world class A-Hole.

[escapefromboston]

Damn.
Gambling aside he should be in Hall of Fame

[hardspunned]

Now the ba$tards might consider it. It really burns me up trying to watch a game when the biggest advertiser is some Sportsbook and Pete is or has served his lifetime ban.

[Gay State Conservative]

How fitting that he died in Vegas.

[Dan in Wichita]

Baseball imposed a lifetime ban preventing Rose from entering the HOF. Now that he is gone, it is time for him to properly be enshrined among the game’s all-time greats.
