As you’ve probably heard by now the ‘Hit King’, Pete Rose passed away this week. Charlie Hustle as he was lovingly nicknamed, was a three-time World Series champion. His 23-year playing career took him from the Reds to the Phillies to the Expos and back to the Reds.
Perhaps most known for his gambling addiction, Rose was placed on the baseball ineligible list permanently in August of ’89. In layman’s terms? He was banned for life.
I don’t pretend to know what that would do to a baseball player, let alone a professional who was the greatest hitter of all time. The irony being that since Rose has passed, is he now eligible for the Hall of Fame?
For now we’ll just take a look back at some of the interesting signatures that Rose left behind. Here’s hoping he can now rest in peace.
