Pete Rose's career, characterized by historic encounters with legendary players, spanned eras in baseball, making him a significant figure in the sport's evolution.
Rose also played for the entirety of Bobby Bonds' MLB career and managed against his son, illustrating the generational impact of his presence in baseball.
Along with Reggie Jackson, Rose was one of the very last players to command the national market like LeBron James and Steph Curry, showing his immense popularity.
Perhaps, most ironically, Rose was the last player to captivate the nation in pursuit of a major record, free of the scandals that later tainted the sport.
