Pete Rose, all-time MLB hits leader, dies at 83

Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader who was banned from baseball for betting on the sport, has died at age 83, the medical examiner in Clark County, Nevada, confirmed to ABC News on Monday.

"Charlie Hustle," as he was known for his relentless playing style, will fall short in his bid to make the Hall of Fame during his lifetime. Only the gambling prevented him from getting in as his accomplishments on the field are unquestionably Hall of Fame worthy.

I am of a certain age that grew up with TWIB (This Week In Baseball) and guys like "Charlie Hustle" truly made baseball America's pastime. I think I was 8 when he retired, got into managing, and then got into trouble.

I know betting is considered the one thing you can't do, but I'd expect lots of guys have and continue to do it. I'd also guess that lots of guys have cheated in numerous ways, and as a player it is hard for me to think Pete Rose cheated or left anything out there on the field. I think like some of the other guys of the steroids era, eventually some of the people who have crazy records will be let in. Put an asterisk beside if you want, but those games, hits, and highlights all happened.

RIP - Pete Rose
