Widely recognized as one of the greats in MLB history, Pete Rose will be remembered as a legend, boasting more than three World Series titles and numerous awards playing in multiple position as the all-time hits leader.

Banished baseball great Pete Rose has died. The longtime Cincinnati Red was the career hits leader and fallen idol who undermined his historic achievements and Hall of Fame dreams by gambling on the game he loved and once embodied.

One of the sport’s greatest players, he set a record with 4,256 career hits. But his gambling led to a lifetime ban and kept him out of the Hall of Fame.
