In 1970s, Pete Rose was at the height of his career, winning three World Series titles and surpassing then-record holder Ty Cobb for most career hits. The player-manager hasn’t yet been surpassed, but this legacy is tarnished with his permanent expulsion from Major League Baseball due to gambling.
The show is sure to dive deeper into the rise and fall of the player with extensive interviews with his teams, his loved ones, prominent sports journalists that chronicled his journey, and of course, the man himself.
