ironically the nickname was derisive…. charlie as in, i dont know this guy’s name and hustle because he ran during a walk in spring training … i guess that happens with nicknames, look how popular walk off is now, but that was initially a bad thing, because it was first said from the pitcher’s perspective, the pitcher was walking off the field (presumably with head down)… the runner scoring the walk off isnt usually walking
Pete Rose was not a gifted athlete. He made himself an elite baseball player by his hustle and never quit attitude.
I was really bummed when he bet on baseball games while still involved with the game.
The Reds were a very powerful team back then. I enjoyed watching them, even though I was (and still am) an Astros fan.
Astros bounce back bigly with a four pitcher no hitter. Baseball history.
GEAUX Streauxs
Philly fans F-ed around with Mattress Mack and they FOUND OUT!
Verlander
Frombar
McCullers (though I'd throw Javier)
I like the Astros chances.
The way the Astros responded on the road last night was very impressive.
Just have to make sure Verlander brings his "A game" tonight and bring it back to Houston with full momentum.
