Pete Rose’s life in pictures

Pete Rose was a 17-time Major League Baseball All-Star who played more games and had more hits than anyone in league history.

Rose began his career in 1963 as a 22-year-old second baseman for Cincinnati Reds. Cincinnati was his hometown. He would go on to win National League Rookie of the Year.

Rose and Cincinnati Reds teammate Jim Maloney celebrate in the dressing room after winning the second game of a doubleheader against the New York Mets in 1963. The Reds won the game 1-0 after Rose hit a first-inning home run and Maloney pitched a shutout.

Rose's all-out effort earned him the nickname — first derisively, then admiringly — “Charlie Hustle." Here, he slides head first into home plate during a game against the Cubs in the late 1960s.

Rose collides with Cleveland catcher Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the 1970 All-Star Game. Both players were injured on the play.
