Charlie Hustle - the name means baseball, Cincinnati, the Reds, and of course, Pete Rose. Author Keith O’Brien spent years interviewing Rose’s associates, investigators, and Pete himself to get the first-hand information regarding the glory and the ugliness of Cincinnati’s most famous baseball player. O’Brien left no stone unturned digging for the truth about Pete’s human failings that caused his fall from grace. O’Brien’s research even led him to the archives of the Delhi Historical Society.

The result is the book Charlie Hustle, the Rise and Fall of Pete Rose and the Last Glory Days of Baseball, to be released March 26, 2024.

Kirkus Reviews calls O’Brien’s book, “the definitive account of the life and times of Rose” and a “masterpiece of a sports biography.”
