Despite being MLB’s all-time hits leader, Rose has yet to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The 1973 NL MVP had every accolade imaginable to deserve a place in Cooperstown. But his past gambling scandal left a stain on his legacy that followed him up to his death.
Rose’s legendary MLB journey spanned 24 seasons, 19 of which were with the Reds. His illustrious career included 3 World Series rings, an NL MVP award, an NL Rookie of the Year trophy, 3 batting titles, 2 Gold Gloves, and 17 All-Star nods.
