The proverbial "they" say that any hero who lives long enough sees himself become a villain. While that may or may not be true, no baseball player fully inhabited both roles as thoroughly as Pete Rose, whose death this week at the age of 83 marks the end of a turbulent life. Rose found himself at the top of the sporting world over and over, but his personal demons and abhorent conduct off the field left hiim permanently banned from the game and reviled by many. In recognition of his accoomplishments and his place in baseball history, Mike and Bill look back at Charlie Hustle's life and career, warts and all.
Plus, happy birthday to Harry Steinfeldt and Earl Wilson!
And farewell to Jim Brady and Mike Cubbage.
