Rose’s tireless approach to baseball in America earned him many supporters due to his hard work and dedication on the field. After his 24-year career, during which 19 years were spent with the Cincinnati Reds, he set the record for the highest number of career hits, games played, plate appearances, and at-bats. He was a 16-time All-Star, won the NL MVP in 1973, and was named Rookie of the Year in 1963.
