Charlie Hustle
By O'brien, Keith
A page-turning work of narrative nonfiction chronicling the incredible story of one of America's most iconic, charismatic, and still polarizing figures - baseball immortal Pete Rose - and an exquisite cultural history of baseball and America in the second half of the twentieth century. Pete Rose is a legend. A baseball god. He compiled more hits than anyone in the history of baseball, a record he set decades ago, which still stands. At the same time, he was a working-class white guy from Cincinnati who made it; less talented than tough, and rough around the edges. He was everything that America wanted and needed him to be, the American dream personified, until he wasn't.. In the 1980s Pete Rose came to be at the center of the biggest scandal in baseball history.
