"Charlie Hustle:The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days
of Baseball" by Keith O'Brien
(interview recorded this year)
With the death of the baseball legend Pete Rose I decided to look back at his stellar career and his tragic fall from grace. Earlier this year I spoke to the Rose biographer Keith O'Brien. The author grew up in Cincinnati and he was able to do a number of interviews with Rose before his access to the former baseball player suddenly ended.
