Pete Rose played baseball with a singular and headfirst abandon that endeared him to fans and peers, even as it riled others--a figure at once magnetic, beloved and polarizing. Rose has more base hits than anyone in history, yet he is not in the Hall of Fame. Twenty-five years ago he was banished from baseball for gambling, then ruled ineligible for Cooperstown; today, the question "Does Pete Rose belong in the Hall of Fame?" has evolved into perhaps the most provocative in sports, a layered, slippery and ever-relevant moral conundrum.
How do we evaluate the Hit King now, at a time when steroid cheats appear on the Hall of Fame ballot even as Rose is denied? What do we make of this happily unrepentant gambler, this shameless but beguiling showman whose post-baseball journey has led him to a curious reality show and to the streets of Cooperstown to hawk his signature, his story, himself?
Best-selling author Kostya Kennedy delivers an evocative answer in his fascinating re-examination of Pete Rose's life; from his cocky and charismatic early years through his storied playing career to his bitter war against baseball's hierarchy to the man we find today--still incorrigible, still adored by many. Where has his improbable saga landed him in the redefined, post-steroid world? Do we feel any differently about Pete Rose today? Should we?

The only note can be that the author bragged a bit the material in the last 90 pages or so (I have the physical copy either) .
in my opinion could have been closed a bit before as a script.
But overall great read and listen!
Great Book just bragged a bit at the end.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I listened to this book in my car during a daily 2 hour commute. The story itself was enjoyable, but the horrendous narration made remaining engaged in the book very difficult when combined with focusing on the road.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The book needs a narrarator with more passion for the story and the ability to pronounce names. From Durocher to Selig to Oester, it was awful how many times names were botched. It truly drowned out a reasonably entertaining book.How could the performance have been better?
See my comments on the story. The narration ruined this book.Was Pete Rose worth the listening time?
If but for the narration, yes.Good Story Terrible Narraration

Where does Pete Rose rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I am a big Pete Rose fan and feel that Mr. Kennedy treated him fairly and objectively.What was one of the most memorable moments of Pete Rose?
Becoming the all time hits leader and leading the Big Red MachineWhat didn’t you like about Ben Bartolone’s performance?
Very little as he apparently knows nothing about baseball. He totally butchered the names of many of the players names in the story. I can't believe someone didn't listen to this before is it released as it ruins the story for me. He called Bill Mazeroski (for example) Bill"Mazurksi" to name a few. One of the poorest narration jobs ever and I have listened to approximately 500 + Audible books over the years.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There were many such moments in the book.Any additional comments?
Again, good book hurt by poor narrationNarration and Mispronunciation Reduces my Rating

Where does Pete Rose rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
About average. The narrator goes a little too quickly and doesn't always pause to let some information sink in.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The story seems to skim over major events like, leaving The Reds and returningDid Ben Bartolone do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
The characters were easy enough to followIf you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
An All American StoryAny additional comments?
This was overall a very interesting book. The author doesn't take sides and it is left up to the listener to make up their own mind and it is very difficult to decide if he is a victim or villanI still don't know what to think of him

What did you like best about Pete Rose? What did you like least?
Bartolone ruined this book for me. Consistently mispronounces names. Leo Durocher (Da-row-sher, not Due-row-shay), Maury Wills (wills, not will-is).Ben Bartolone--narrator--is terrible
