Baseball legend Pete Rose has died at the age of 83

Major League Baseball legend Pete Rose has died at age 83, the coroner in Clark County, Nevada, confirmed to ABC News on Monday.

Although there are not yet many details about the manner of his death, Rose was found by a family member, law enforcement told ABC News.

The coroner told ABC News that Rose was not under medical care at the time of his death and the crime scene is currently being examined.

The coroner will determine the cause and manner of death.

Rose brought an expert attitude to the American pastime and won countless fans for his on-field efforts. At the end of his 24-year career, including 19 years with the Cincinnati Reds, he held the record for most career hits, games played, plate appearances and at-bats. He was also a 16-time All-Star, 1973 NL MVP and 1963 Rookie of the Year.

He also won three World Series – two with Cincinnati's “Big Red Machine” clubs in 1975 and 1976 and a third with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980.

But Rose will always be remembered for being banned from the MLB for life in 1989 for playing games as manager of the Reds.

With Rose under suspicion, new MLB Commissioner Bart Giamatti commissioned an investigation in April 1989 led by John Dowd, a Justice Department attorney. The damning report was released in June, documenting at least 52 bets on Reds games in 1987. his first season as a pure manager, after three seasons as a player/manager. According to the Dowd report, daily bets amounted to thousands of dollars.

With few options, Rose voluntarily accepted placement on the baseball ineligible list in August 1989. Despite this, Rose continued to deny ever betting on his own team for over a decade.

In his 2004 autobiography “My Prison Without Bars” he finally admitted to betting on Reds games. He also came clean for the first time in an interview with ABC News promoting the book.

“I bet on baseball in 1987 and 1988,” he told ABC News' Charles Gibson in an exclusive interview that aired on “Primetime Thursday” on January 8, 2004. “It was my mistake for not coming to terms with it much sooner.”
