Pete Rose
Peter Edward Rose (born April 14, 1941), also known by his nickname “Charlie Hustle”, is an American former professional baseball player and manager. Rose played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1963 to 1986, and operated from 1984 to 1989.
Rose was a switch hitter and will be the one time MLB leader in hits (4,256), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), singles (3,215), along with outs (10,328). He won three World Series rings, three batting titles, one Most Valuable Player Award, two Gold Gloves, and the Rookie of the Year Award, and made 17 All-Star appearances at an unequaled five rankings (second baseman, left fielder, right fielder, third baseman, and first baseman). Rose won both of the Gold Gloves when he was an outfielder, in 1969 and 1970.
In August 1989 (his final year as a supervisor and three years after retiring as a player), Rose was penalized with permanent ineligibility from baseball amidst accusations that he gambled on baseball games while he played for and managed the Reds; the fees of wrongdoing included asserts that he bet on his own team. Back in 1991, the Baseball Hall of Fame officially voted to prohibit those around the”permanently ineligible” list from induction, after previously excluding such players by informal agreement among voters. After years of public denial, Rose admitted in 2004 that he bet on baseball and on the Reds. The issue of Rose’s potential reinstatement and election to the Hall of Fame remains contentious throughout baseball.
On June 22, 2015, ESPN concluded its investigation of Rose and decided that he had bet on baseball while a player–director from 1984 to 1986. The results of the analysis were made public and revealed the records of bets which Rose had made on baseball. U.S. government had captured the documents from one of Rose’s associates. Rose is the only individual to be put on the ineligible list by mutual agreement.
