Sports gambling is a multi-billion-dollar business, with 38 states legalizing sports betting. The story of Shohei Ohtani's interpreter reminds us that sports and betting can still be a dangerous mix. And yet, Las Vegas, the betting and sports capital, was the home of this year's Super Bowl. Against this backdrop, the story of Pete Rose becomes even more poignant.
Bestselling author Keith O'Brien's latest book, "Charlie Hustle," offers a captivating chronicle of Rose, one of baseball's most iconic and controversial figures. From a working-class kid to the pinnacle of baseball glory, Rose's journey and his dramatic fall from grace due to gambling scandals reflect a changing America and its beloved pastime. O'Brien's narrative delves deep into the complexities of Rose's character, exploring how he became the center of a storm that changed not only his life but also the fabric of the game of baseball.
