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."

"I would BET $1000.00 he NEVER BET AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM!"

Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform, shall be declared permanently ineligible.

Pete broke that rule.

[Ann Archy]

You have NO idea of what you are talking about.

[Round Earther]

‘How fitting that he died in Vegas.’

What are the odds?

[Gay State Conservative]

Damn...double murder aside OJ should be on Mount Rushmore.

[Alberta's Child]

“Greatest players to ever play the game?” I’m not sure abou that. The guy was a Hall of Famer, but I’m not sure he’d even crack a list of the top 100 MLB players of all time.

[Hatteras]

It is amazing how professional sports has embraced Las Vegas. Literally athletes promoting gambling.

RIP Pete

It is the #1 rule of baseball...Pete, of all people, knew that.

MY BASEBALL HERO.😭😭

[Ann Archy]

They accused him of betting AGAINST his team....he would NEVER do that.....BUT HE GAMBLED ON EVERYTHING ELSE!

[mware]

Bet James Earl Jones is walking him through the corn field.

I was seven when he was a rookie. He was my favorite player in 1963 and that will never change. I had the pleasure of listening to the vast majority of games he played in or managed for the Reds.

There will never be another Charlie Hustle.

[Bonemaker]

Great man and in the pantheon of greats. Shafted by bad people.

[Round Earther]

Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform, shall be declared permanently ineligible.

Rule 22 does does not give a flip if you bet for or against your team.

He was the missing piece to push the Phillies over the top to first World Series win in 1980.And Bake McBride. And Marty Bystrom

I'll never forget that fight he had with Bud Harrelson, I was in the 1st grade in New York and was a Met fanatic and to this day I remember seeing it on TV, I couldn't believe how Rose picked up Harrelson like a toy and slammed him into the ground. I had Harrelsons autograph as well. To this day I don't know why they fought lol

Gamblers notice when another known gambler does NOT bet on a game.

[chuck allen]

One of Pete’s great applause lines was that he also “made more outs than anyone in baseball history.”

R.I.P. Peter Edward Rose, 🌹 you did The Queen City Proud! 🥲

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

These things come in threes. I'm not someone to wish death on anyone, but I won't be crying if this demon goes back to hell...

[chuck allen]

In addition to the hit title, Rose also played in more games, had more at-bats, had gotten on base more and had singled more than anyone in baseball history. He also made the most outs in MLB history.
