Baseball player

Peter Edward Rose Sr. (April 14, 1941 – September 30, 2024), nicknamed "Charlie Hustle", was an American professional baseball player and manager. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1963 to 1986, most prominently as a member of the Cincinnati Reds lineup known as the Big Red Machine for their dominance of the National League in the 1970s. He also played for the Philadelphia Phillies, where he won his third World Series championship in 1980, and had a brief stint with the Montreal Expos. He managed the Reds from 1984 to 1989.

Rose was a switch hitter and is MLB's all-time leader in hits (4,256), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), singles (3,215), and outs (10,328). He won three World Series championships, three batting titles, one Most Valuable Player Award, two Gold Glove Awards, and the Rookie of the Year Award. He made 17 All-Star appearances in an unequaled five positions (second baseman, left fielder, right fielder, third baseman, and first baseman). He won two Gold Glove Awards when he was an outfielder, in 1969 and 1970. He also has the third l

Rose, the major-league career hits leader with 4,256, was admired by fans by not only what he accomplished but how he did it.

He played the game with childish joy, exuberance at odds with the disgrace of a lifetime suspension from baseball, a ban that has kept him from induction into the Hall of Fame.

Rose visuals: Pounding the top of his batting helmet with his fist. Crouching at the plate. Whipping the bat quickly with his compact swing, sending the ball on a line. Sprinting to first base after a walk. Running the bases, thick legs churning, cap flying off. Belly-flopping into a base, face full of dirt.

Smooth? Sleek? Graceful? Not Rose. "Charlie Hustle" had no time for style points. He came only to win. Former Cincinnati Reds teammate Jack Billingham said, "Pete might go 0-for-4, but if we'd win the game, he'd be the happiest guy in the clubhouse."

Rose's philosophy: "Somebody's got to win, and somebody's got to lose, and I believe in letting the other guy lose."

Rose led his hometown Reds to two World Series triumphs (and four pennants) and helped the Philadelphia Phillies to one Series win (and two pennants). He won three batting titles, produced a National League record 44-game hitting streak in 1977, and broke Ty Cobb's 57-year-old career hits record in 1985.

His biggest loss came in 1989 when commissioner Bart Giamatti suspended him for gambling on baseball. Rose also had been suspended for 30 days by Giamatti the previous season for shoving an umpire.

He was born April 14, 1941 in Cincinnati, the third of four children. His father Harry, who played semipro baseball and football, and his uncle, Buddy Bloebaum, helped him become a switch-hitter.

"The ability Pete had was nothing compared to a
