24 seasons. 3,562 games. 14,053 at bats. a .303 lifetime average. .987% fielding.
Charlie Hustle deserves the hall. That Pete Rose is a flawed man is unquestionable. That he was one of the few baseball players who played with heart and guts is also without doubt. I will not visit Cooperstown until Rose is there.
