4192: The Crowning of the Hit King

Being a Reds fan all my life and a Pete Rose fan this was a fantastic film about his life as a youngster,his father,his love of the game.I don't think there is a player today who loves baseball the way Pete Rose did and does and I know there is not one today who plays the way Pete did,with heart.The movie never mentions the problems Pete had with gambling nor does it mention his ban,which I think is only right.This movie is about baseball and Pete "Charlie Hustle" Rose is baseball.

I'd like to take an opportunity to let you know why I personally want to tell the story of Pete Rose's playing career. In all honesty, hoping this might bring back a memory or two for you as well.

I've lived in Cincinnati my whole life and would love nothing more than to see one of our hometown heroes, Pete Rose, celebrated for the amazing talent he was. I truly believe that this documentary is a chance to resurrect a little bit of the Pete Rose I remember as a kid. The story of Pete Rose's fall from grace has been written and rewritten so many times. I sometimes think that America has forgotten this one-of-a-kind player. The man who was so driven that he would get to the ballpark first, leave the ballpark last, and then go to the car in his driveway to listen to West Coast games. Nobody ever loved the game more. Nobody ever gave baseball more. It doesn't pardon Pete for breaking rule #21, but it seems to me that he thrilled too many people and played too hard to be remembered only as the man who gambled on baseball.

4192: The Crowning Of The Hit King is the story of a Pete Rose that is often forgotten amongst the gossip: a ballplayer with a divine bat and a true passion for the game. I hope you enjoy the film as much as we did making it.

Sincerely,

Terry Lukemire
Director & Editor of 4192: The Crowning Of The Hit King

This movie wisely avoids all the allegations which followed Pete Rose after he left baseball. Instead it focuses on his early upbringing, his mentors and his feats, which because of his exclusion from the Hall of Fame, may be unknown to a younger generation of baseball fans. Rose was taught the value of hard work, of hustling, of giving the fan's their money's worth by one person: his dad. He credits his father with instilling in young Pete a very strict work ethic. Like his father, Pete Rose never smoked, never drank, and didn't take drugs. For these reasons Pete Rose managed to outlast most other ballplayers. Aside from his having more hits than any one in the game of baseball, his most remarkable achievement might be his record as the only player with more than 500 games at 5 different positions. As Tony Pena says about Rose, he would have sold popcorn if his manager thought it would help the team. Rose also befriended African-american and Latino ballplayers at a time when they were shunned by many white ballplayers. Yes this movie reminds us of what Pete Rose would be if he didn't have the scandal surrounding his name: simply the greatest baseball player of modern time.

Amen, it's not a baseball " Hall of fame " without Charlie Hustle in there. Maybe it's finally time to give the man his due before he dies. If you happen to read this ever Mr. Rose, know that there is someone out there who feels blessed to have seen you play all those years and I firmly believe that there was never a better ballplayer in the history of the game. Thank you.

If you are a fan of baseball, you will like this. I watched him play as a kid and young man. I only wish they would separate the BS of the gambling and look at his baseball playing and put him in the HOF.
