Charlie Hustle chronicles one of the most polarizing figures in sports."—NPR, All Things Considered “Baseball biography at its best. With Charlie Hustle , Pete Rose finally gets the book he deserves, and baseball fans get the book we’ve been craving, a hard-hitting, beautifully-written tale that will stand for years to come as the definitive account of one of the most fascinating figures in American sports history.”—Jonathan Eig, New York Times bestselling author of King: A Life 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 that still stands today. 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 one of the biggest scandals in baseball history. He kept secrets, ran with bookies, took on massive gambling debts, and he was magnificently, publicly cast out for betting on baseball and lying about it. The revelations that followed ruined him, changed life in Cincinnati, and forever altered the game. Charlie Hustle tells the full story of one of America’s most epic tragedies—the rise and fall of Pete Rose. Drawing on firsthand interviews with Rose himself and with his associates, as well as on investigators' reports, FBI and court records, archives, a mountain of press coverage, Keith O’Brien chronicles how Rose fell so far from being America’s “great white hope.” It is Pete Rose as we've never seen him before. This is no ordinary sport biography, but cultural history at its finest. What O’Brien shows is that while Pete Rose didn’t change, America and baseball did. This is the story of that change. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Sports & Recreations. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Adair, Ellen. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9951299 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=d34d19fa-0e3a-4e34-a0a2-8205fb34faca&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7BD34D19FA-0E3A-4E34-A0A2-8205FB34FACA%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7BD34D19FA-0E3A-4E34-A0A2-8205FB34FACA%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/d34d19fa-0e3a-4e34-a0a2-8205fb34faca $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240504010038.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=957CA91409DB11EF9809F61335ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
