"Charlie Hussle" was a nickname given to Pete Rose in his first Spring Training, when veteran Reds players found his non-stop go-go attitude to be WAY over the top. Fortunately, it did not take long for Rose to turn a negative into a positive, as Cincinnati (and Philly) fans cheered "Charlie"s every frantic move for more than 20 years!For fans of the legendary superstar, this is the ultimate piece for your wall! In classic black-and-white, this poster features a great moment from the Big Red Machine years of the 1970s. It's a play at the plate against midwestern rivals St. Louis Cardinals, and with Ted Simmons blocking the plate, there was only one thing for Rose to do - TAKE HIM OUT! This print captures the split second before contact, with a wild-haired, scowly-faced Rose fearlessly sliding full-speed into Simmons' legs, for the ultimate goal of scoring another of his 2,165 career runs. It could have been the pennant race, it could have been a dog-day afternoon, but for Rose the game was always played the same - with passion, intensity, and a reckless streak that thrilled us all.
For the first time ever, this amazing image is available poster-sized for your wall! Exclusive to SportsPosterWarehouse.com , it features a huge reproduction from the original photographic negative - a truly wonderful, typical Pete Rose moment. For fans of old-school baseball and the man who kept it alive for an entire generation, this print deserves a nice frame and a prominent place on your wall!
