Baseball Historian Biography

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Pete Rose was named by the 'Sporting News' as the 'Player of the Decade' in the 1970s. Because of his boundless hustling, he was nicknamed Charlie Hustle. Pete Rose was the leader by example of the Cincinnati Reds and with his 'take charge, hard playing, I want to win attitude' the 'Big Red Machine' did indeed win - 7 divisional titles, 4 pennants and 2 world series. Pete Rose barreled the Reds to a sweep of the Pirates in the 1970 LCS. He broke a scoreless tie in the 10th inning by driving in the winning run and in the final game singled in the 8th inning and scored the games' winning run. In the 1972 LCS Pete Rose batted .450. In 1973, Rose won his third batting crown with .338 and collected 220 hits. Pete Rose is the All-Time hits' leader with 4,256 and he lined over 200 hits in a single season ten times - still an unbroken major league record.
