Rose the Cincinnati Favorite and Charlie Hustle
Cincinnati’s Pete Rose became the city’s beloved figure through hustle and consistency. From Western Hills High School to the major leagues, he piled up 200 hits and above .300 many seasons. In 1965 he began a long run of high averages and hit totals, later setting a National League hitting streak record and recording his 3,000th hit early in the season. He eyed Stan Musial’s NL career record of 3,630 hits as he pursued more milestones.
