The baseball world is mourning the loss of Pete Rose, the all-time Major League Baseball (MLB) hit leader and three-time World Series champion, who passed away at the age of 83. Known as “The Hit King,” Rose leaves behind a legacy unparalleled in the sport, with records for the most games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), hits (4,256), and singles (3,215).

Despite his extraordinary achievements on the field, Rose’s career was clouded by controversy after he was denied entry into the Hall of Fame due to his lifetime ban from baseball for betting on games while managing the Cincinnati Reds. For decades, fans and baseball enthusiasts have campaigned for Rose’s induction, and with his passing, calls for his posthumous recognition have surged across social media.

Rose’s fiery competitiveness and unmatched work ethic made him one of the greatest players to ever grace the diamond. As tributes pour in, the debate reignites—should Pete Rose finally be inducted into the Hall of Fame? Fans everywhere are calling on the MLB to honor his legacy. Rest in peace, Pete Rose, an absolute legend of the game. #PutHimInTheHall
