Pete Rose, the storied Major League Baseball player and manager, has died at the age of 83, his agent said Monday.

Rose spent most of his professional playing time with the Cincinnati Reds, and also played for the Philadelphia Phillies and Montreal Expos. In that time he won three World Series titles and collected a league-leading 4,256 career hits.

Rose also managed the Cincinnati Reds from 1984 to 1989.

But Rose received a ban from the MLB in 1989 for betting on baseball, and as such was ineligible for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Rose denied the allegations against him and repeatedly petitioned to have his Hall of Fame eligibility reinstated.

Rose died at his home in Las Vegas.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
