CINCINNATI — Reds legend and MLB Hit King Pete Rose died on Monday. The 83-year-old was with some of his former teammates over the weekend. Reds legend Johnny Bench reacted to the news with a social media post.

Darrel Chaney spent seven of his 11 years playing Major League Baseball as Rose’s teammate in Cincinnati. “We didn’t have a ‘C’ for ‘captain’ for him in those days, but we all called him captain because that’s what he was,” Chaney said. They won a World Series together in 1975.
