Un-Covering the Past.(life and athletic achievements of baseball player Pete Rose)(Brief Article)
PETE ROSE: Baseball Digest's Coverboy 15 Years Ago After Reds Defeated Red Sox in '75 Series
DURING THE 1975 WORLD SERIES, PETE ROSE led the Cincinnati Reds to an exciting victory over the Boston Red Sox, was voted the Series Most Valuable Player and graced the January 1976 cover of Baseball Digest.
At 34, Rose was still at the peak of his career with the Big Red Machine that was on course to win another World Series title in 1976.
At the end of the '75 campaign, the former three-time National League batting champ had 2,547 career hits en route to his major league record 4,256 safeties by the time he retired as a player in 1986.
Rose didn't possess great speed, he wasn't a hitter that captured fan appeal with home run power or a high average and he wasn't a dazzling defensive player, but he had all the intangible qualities that turned him from an average player into a good, dependable all-star.
He was a student of the game and was always thinking of a way to get an edge on opponents. He usually found this edge with his hustle, determination and knowledge.
Aside from the all-time hits record, he finished his 24-year career with 746 doubles, 2,165 runs and a .303 batting average.
