Hustle, an ESPN Films production, offers a compelling glimpse into the tumultuous life of baseball legend Pete Rose. Celebrated for his on-field dynamism that earned him the moniker “Charlie Hustle,” the film sheds light on Rose’s controversial off-field gambling activities during his management of the Cincinnati Reds.

This aggressive spirit, which was Rose’s hallmark on the diamond, also manifested in high-stakes decisions beyond the game. This audacity not only blurred ethical lines but also led to his poignant lifetime banishment from the very game he adored.
