Pete Rose, Major League Baseball’s all-time hit king, has died at 83.

He topped the all-time hit list with 4,256 over a 24-season career. Rose was known for going all-in sliding head-first and running even when a pitcher walked him –which earned him the nickname “Charlie Hustle.” He played for three World Series champion teams: with the Reds’ “Big Red Machine” in 1975 and 1976, and the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980 – was voted to the National League’s All-Star team 17 times.

Despite all his accolades, it was his gambling that kept him out of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He gave his final interview earlier in September to make one more plea to be considers for the HOF.
