Pete Rose

Peter Edward Rose Sr., nicknamed Charlie Hustle, was an American professional baseball player and manager who lived from 1941 to 2024 and played in Major League Baseball from 1963 to 1986, most prominently for the Cincinnati Reds' Big Red Machine of the 1970s before also playing for the Philadelphia Phillies and Montreal Expos. He is baseball's all time leader in hits with 4,256, games played with 3,562 and at bats with 14,053, won three World Series championships, three batting titles, a Most Valuable Player award and two Gold Glove awards, and made 17 All-Star appearances at five different positions. In August 1989, while managing the Reds, he was given permanent ineligibility from baseball after being accused of betting on games while he played for and managed the team, a penalty that has kept him out of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
