Pete Rose

I chose to do my project on Pete Rose.  He was a major league baseball player and is arguably one of the greatest to ever play the game.  The way he played the game earned him the nickname "Charlie Hustle".  Without even doing any research I think anyone would be interested in learning more about someone with that kind of nickname.  My uncle who played minor league baseball loved Pete Rose and would always talk about him to me when I was growing up about how he played the game at such a high level at all times and that I should also do the same if I ever want to be good.  I have tried to take that advice my entire life and so far it has payed off extremely well.

I have an idea of who Pete Rose is as a player but what I am more interested is who he is off the field and how he became so great.  I want to learn about his early life and see if it compares at all to mine.  If it does great, if not then so be it! One thing I do know off the top of my head about Pete Rose is that he is the all time leader in hits in the major leagues.  He got more hits than anyone has ever got in the history of the game.  A game that has been played for over one hundred years!  There is clearly a lot I still need to learn but I feel that it will be easy because of my genuine interest on the topic.  I can't wait to get started.
