Pete Rose

Pete Rose is a former professional baseball player and manager known for his exceptional hitting ability, accumulating more hits than any other player in Major League Baseball history. His career spanned over two decades primarily with the Cincinnati Reds. However, his reputation is marred by betting on baseball games, including those involving his own team, which is against the rules. In 1989, he was banned from the sport for life due to these gambling activities, preventing him from being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame despite his impressive on-field achievements.
