Rose’s agent, Ryan Fiterman, confirmed the death to TMZ Sports. He told the outlet, “The family is asking for privacy at this time.”
Specifics surrounding his death are not yet known.
Truly disgusting that the MLB and their writers didn’t vote Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame while he was alive.
A real tragedy that he did not get to see himself in the Hall of Fame. No player deserved to be in the Hall over him.
RIP the Hit King. YOU DESERVED BETTER.

Pete Rose absolutely belonged in the Hall of Fame for what he did as a player.
Pete Rose absolutely belonged banned from baseball for what he did as a manager.
This wasn't difficult and we still made it that way.

Watching Pete Rose explain hitting, is like Obi-wan teaching the Force.
This is beautiful.

Pete Rose did nothing wrong.
He never got the apology he deserved. One of MLB's greatest failures.
Put him in the Hall of Fame TODAY.

As soon as his death was announced, fans began to take to social media and rip Major League Baseball for not inducting him into the Hall of Fame when he was alive.
During his career, the 17-time All-Star won three World Series championships, was named National League and World Series MVP, and received two Gold Glove Awards, per his Wikipedia.
Pete Rose had his No. 14 retired in Cincinnati and is in the Reds Hall of Fame.
Over the course of his life, he applied for reinstatement several times, but Commissioner Rob Manfred rejected his requests.
He retired as the league’s all-time hits leader, finishing with 4,256 hits. He is still one of just two players, along with Ty Cobb, to even surpass the 4,000-hits mark.
Pete Rose Was Banned From Major League Baseball For Betting
Pete Rose shockingly passed away this week, and fans are remembering everything about him.
He broke out with his hometown Cincinnati Reds, where he would play 19 of his 24 seasons.
Rose, who was league MVP in 1973, a 17-time All-Star, three-time batting title winner, Rookie of the Year, and World Series MVP in his career, was banned from baseball in 1989 after accusations that he gambled on baseball games while he played and managed the Reds.
