“Charlie Hustle” Pete Rose was one of the most accomplished and recognizable figures in baseball history. As a player, he became the all-time MLB hits leader with 4,256 hits, won three World Series, earned an MVP award, three batting titles, and made 17 All-Star teams across an extraordinary career with the Reds, Phillies, and Expos. Rose also remained deeply involved in the game as a manager, guiding the Cincinnati Reds from 1984 to 1989 and adding another chapter to his long and complicated baseball legacy. His impact on the sport was enormous on both sides of the dugout, even as his name became one of the most debated in baseball history.
