Samenvatting
A page-turning work of narrative nonfiction chronicling the incredible story of one of Americas most iconic, charismatic, and still polarizing figuresbaseball immortal Pete Roseand an exquisite cultural history of baseball and America in the second half of the twentieth century
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, which still stands. At the same time, 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 wasnt.
In the 1980s Pete Rose came to be at the center of the biggest scandal in baseball history. 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 tells the full story of one of Americas 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 we on investigators, FBI and court records, archives, a mountain of press coverage, Keith OBrien chronicles how Pete fell so far from being Americas 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 OBrien shows is that while Pete Rose didnt change, America and baseball did. This is the story of that change.
