In Charlie Hustle’s day, 110% effort was non-negotiable. In modern baseball, it’s more complicated
- Pete Rose, known as "Charlie Hustle," accepted a lifetime MLB ban in 1989 due to gambling allegations while managing the Cincinnati Reds.
- Rose's ban stemmed from betting on baseball, leading to lifelong Hall of Fame ineligibility despite his 4,256 hits and 17 All-Star selections.
- Modern managers like Torey Lovullo expect players to give 100% effort relative to their condition, while players like Jazz Chisholm Jr. promote a 70% intensity to maintain health.

- These evolving attitudes toward effort and MLB's allowance of in-stadium betting partnerships suggest a more complex view of hustle and gambling than during Rose's era.
