Pete Rose (born April 14, 1941), nicknamed "Charlie Hustle", is an American former professional baseball player and manager. Rose played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1963 to 1986, most prominently as a member of the Cincinnati Reds lineup known as the Big Red Machine for their dominance of the National League in the 1970s. He also played for the Philadelphia Phillies and the Montreal Expos. During and after his playing career, he served as the manager of the Reds from 1984 to 1989.
 
Rose is the all-time MLB leader in hits (4,256), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), singles (3,215) and outs (10,328). He won three World Series (1975, 1976, and 1980), three batting titles (1968, 1969, and 1973), one Most Valuable Player Award (1975), two Gold Gloves (1969 and 1970), and the Rookie of the Year Award (1963). He also made 17 All-Star appearances at an unequaled five positions (second baseman, left fielder, right fielder, third baseman and first baseman).
 
Rose was known for his aggressive base-running style, which included his distinctive head-first slides. He was also a skilled hitter and fielder. Rose was a popular figure among fans and teammates alike, and was known for his work ethic and dedication to the game.
 
However, Rose's career was also marred by controversy. In 1989, he was banned from baseball for life for betting on baseball games while he was the manager of the Reds. Rose has repeatedly denied betting on the Reds, but has admitted to betting on other baseball games.
 
Despite the controversy, Rose remains one of the most popular and iconic figures in baseball history. He is a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and his number 14 is retired by the Reds.
