These days, Pete Rose is known as much for his lifetime ban from baseball, imposed in 1989, as for his brilliant 24-year playing career. Rose initially denied allegations that he gambled on baseball games while he was manager of the Cincinnati Reds. But in 2004, he publicly admitted to it.
Few know of Rose’s younger days as a military man. At first, Rose didn’t see combat up close. But that changed in 1967.

I fully support Pete Rose being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame - regardless of what he did.

"Charlie Hustle". A great ball player who displayed the dedication and enthusiasm for his trade that typifies great soldiers. I wonder how history will treat his memory.
