NKY History Hour to revisit career of ‘Charlie Hustle’ with bestselling author Keith O’Brien May 28

With more hits than anyone in the history of baseball, Pete Rose is a local legend. Rising from humble beginnings, he was a working-class guy from Cincinnati who made it; less talented than tough, and rough around the edges.

He was everything that America wanted and needed him to be, the American dream personified, until he wasn’t.

Join New York Times bestselling author Keith O’Brien, as he shares the extraordinary life and downfall of baseball legend, Pete Rose, in the virtual NKY History Hour presentation, Charlie Hustle May 28 at 6:30 p.m.
