Wreckage. 520 $a "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 secondhalf of the twentieth century Pete Rose is a legend. A baseball god. He had 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 whomade 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 baseballhistory. Baseball no longer needed Pete Rose, and he was magnificently, publicly cast out for betting on baseball and lying about it. The revelations that followed ruined Pete, changed life in Cincinnati, and forever altered the game. Charlie Hustle tellsthe full story of one of America's most epic tragedies, the rise and fall of Pete Rose, one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Drawing on first-hand interviews with Pete himself, his associates, as well as on investigators, FBI and court records, archives, a mountain of press coverage, Keith O'Brien chronicles how Pete fell so far from being America's "great white hope." It is Rose as we've never seen before. This is no ordinary sport biography, but cultural history at its finest. What O'Brienshows is that while Pete Rose didn't change, America and baseball did. This is the story of that change"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rose, Pete, $d 1941- 610 20 $a Cincinnati Reds (Baseball team) $x History. 650 0 $a Baseball players $z United States $x Biography. 650 0 $a Sports betting $z United States. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a O'Brien, Keith, 1973- $t Charlie Hustle $d New York : Pantheon Books, [2024] $z 9780593317389 $w (DLC) 2023020622 941 $a 9 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240525011224.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011251.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240514012254.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013028.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012136.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20240502011802.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012123.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011829.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240402010631.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=929D12EABB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
