Rose Pete introduction by Joe Garagiola
THE PETE ROSE STORY - An Autobiography

Light wear on the corners of the dustjacket with some rubbing on the front panel and a crease on the back panel; price clipped; faint pencil mark on the front free endpaper; no other interior markings. Illustrated with black and white plates.

It was obvious right from the start that Pete Rose was a remarkable athlete. His nickname Charlie Hustle was well deserved. And that's what he did for the Cincinnati Reds the Philadelphia Phillies and briefly for the Montreal Expos - he hustled. Three World Series rings two Gold Gloves three batting titles one Most Valuable Player Award Rookie of the Year and 17 All-Star games - incredible highlights in an incredible career. Most addictions in this world are forgiven after the apologies and the confessions are given - a little public humiliation some grovelling and it is back to business as normal. It's curious that Pete Rose has never been forgiven for gambling. . First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo. World Publishing - Tower Books Hardcover
