Part 2: Pete Rose on How He Got the Name "Charlie Hustle"
--------
In this clip, baseball legend Pete Rose shared his early life and sporting career highlights. Born and raised in Ohio, Rose commenced his professional stint with the Reds in 1963. From a family of dedicated sports enthusiasts, from an early age, Pete was encouraged to engage in multiple sports activities. Rose started playing baseball at around eight or nine, learning to switch batting at the age of nine under the guidance of his uncle, a scout for the Reds. Contrary to common notions, football was initially Rose’s preferred sport. His academic woes led to him missing a year of eligibility in high school, but he managed to sign with the Reds, with the assistance of his uncle, while playing in the Dayton Double Amateur League. During his chat with Vlad, Rose attributed his success in sports to the support and inspiration he received from his family members.
