Cause of death is not immediately available. Rose is of course best remembered not for holding a slew of records (that will probably never be outdone) and being one of the most versatile players, but for his horribly ill-advised betting activities while coaching. It earned him a lifetime ban from the MLB, and has thus far kept him from even being considered for the Baseball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>While Rose was picked up on a pro ball contract right out of high school, being born in 1941, he was coming of age at a time when many men were drafted. He served for six years in the Army Reserve. At least for a time, he served as a cook, which allowed him to show up in the pre-dawn hours to prepare breakfast, and then get out of his drill weekend in time to go play an afternoon\/evening game for the Reds.<\/p>\n<p>Rose&#8217;s records include;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Major League records:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most career at-bats \u2013 14,053<\/li>\n<li>Most career plate appearances \u2013 15,890<\/li>\n<li>Most career hits \u2013 4,256<\/li>\n<li>Most career singles \u2013 3,215<\/li>\n<li>Most career times on base \u2013 5,929<\/li>\n<li>Most career outs \u2013 10,328<\/li>\n<li>Most career games played \u2013 3,562<\/li>\n<li>Most career winning games played \u2013 1,972<\/li>\n<li>Only player to play at least 500 games at five different positions \u2013 1B (939), LF (671), 3B (634), 2B (628), RF (595)<\/li>\n<li>Most career runs by a switch hitter \u2013 2,165<\/li>\n<li>Most career doubles by a switch hitter \u2013 746<\/li>\n<li>Most career walks by a switch hitter \u2013 1,566<\/li>\n<li>Most career total bases by a switch hitter \u2013 5,752<\/li>\n<li>Most seasons of 200 or more hits \u2013 10 (shared)<\/li>\n<li>Most consecutive seasons of 100 or more hits \u2013 23<\/li>\n<li>Most consecutive seasons with 600 or more at-bats \u2013 13 (1968\u20131980) (shared)<\/li>\n<li>Most seasons with 600 at-bats \u2013 17<\/li>\n<li>Most seasons with 150 or more games played \u2013 17<\/li>\n<li>Most seasons with 100 or more games played \u2013 23<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>National League records:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most years played \u2013 24<\/li>\n<li>Most consecutive years played \u2013 24<\/li>\n<li>Most career runs \u2013 2,165<\/li>\n<li>Most career doubles \u2013 746<\/li>\n<li>Most career games with 5 or more hits \u2013 10<\/li>\n<li>Modern (post-1900) NL record for longest consecutive-game hitting streak NL \u2013 44<\/li>\n<li>Modern record for most hitting streaks of 20 or more consecutive games \u2013 7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the greatest Major League Baseball players of all time has passed away at the &hellip; <a title=\"Pete Rose, another vet dies\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=161643\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pete Rose, another vet dies<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":161644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-161643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-veterans-in-the-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=161643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/161644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=161643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=161643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=161643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
