The Robert Brownbaseball world is mourning one of their own.
Legendary baseball player Pete Rose died on Sept. 30, the Clark County Office of the Coroner confirmed to NBC News. He was 83.
A cause of death has not yet been shared.
Rose died in his Las Vegas home his agent Ryan Fiterman told TMZ, adding that his "family is asking for privacy at this time."
E! News has reached out to a rep for Rose but has not heard back.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Rose garnered fame during his years with Major League Baseball from 1963 to 1986, during which he played most prominently with the Cincinnati Reds. During his time in the league, he earned the nickname "Charlie Hustle," thanks to his never-ending ability to go all out during games.
Rose won three World Series during his career: in 1975 and 1976 with the Reds, as well as in 1980 with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was also a seventeen-time All-Star winner, as well as the World Series MVP in 1975. To this day, he is still the all-time hits leader in the MLB, racking up 4,256 over his 24-season career.
Following his retirement from baseball, he served as the manager of the Reds until 1989, having been a player-manager during his last two years with the team from 1984 to 1986.
However, the end of Rose's career was marked with controversy when it was found that he had bet on baseball games during his time as both a player and manager for the Reds. He was subsequently banned from baseball by MLB commissioner Bart Giamatti in 1989, and in 1991 the Baseball Hall of Fame voted to ban any players on the "permanently ineligible list" from induction.
Although Rose denied the allegations of betting at the time of his suspension, he ultimately admitted to it in his 2004 autobiography, My Prison Without Bars.
"I'm sure that I'm supposed to act all sorry or sad or guilty," he wrote, per USA Today, "now that I've accepted that I've done something wrong."
"But you see, I'm just not built that way," he continued. "Sure, there's probably some real emotion buried somewhere deep inside. And maybe I'd be a better person if I let that side of my personality come out. But it just doesn't surface too often. So let's leave it like this. ... I'm sorry it happened, and I'm sorry for all the people, fans and family that it hurt. Let's move on."
Rose is survived by his children Fawn, Pete Rose Jr. with his first wife Karolyn Englehardt, and Tyler and Cara with ex Carol J. Woliung.
