Pete Rose was almost certainly the athlete of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s whom fathers most often called on their sons to emulate. The journeyman outfielder Dave Collins told sportswriter Keith O’Brien that he had "never seen a man so focused on hitting, so obsessed with his job." Everyone called him "Charlie Hustle"— the title of a new book by O’Brien that rehashes the story of Pete Rose for 21st-century readers.
