RIP… Pete Rose, who won two World Series titles with his hometown Cincinnati Reds and broke the all-time hits record died Monday. He was 83. Known as Charlie Hustle for his aggressive and showy style — Rose’s reputation took a huge hit when he was caught betting on baseball - including his own team. Because of that… he was never allowed into the Baseball Hall of Fame - despite a record that more than earned him a place there. 4,256 hits in all. Amazing.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Wednesday!
