Pete Rose, baseball's career hits leader and fallen idol, died at 83, leaving behind a complex legacy of unparalleled achievement marred by his gambling on the game.
Rose's tenacity on the field made him an icon; he was known for running full speed to first base even after a walk, epitomizing hustle and determination.
His 4,256 hits, an extraordinary feat, symbolize his consistency and longevity, highlighting that even averaging 200 hits for 20 years wouldn’t match his career total.
Despite being one of the greatest players in the sport's history with 17 All-Star selections, Rose's legacy is heavily tainted due to his gambling controversies.
