Historia
This audiobook is the window into the underground world of cheating at the highest levels, which set off a frenzy of activity and hand-wringing in the offices of Major League Baseball and Congress. Through the authors' pursuit of sources and documents, they were able to open for public view a world in which elite athletes trade money and risk their health for the edge that will allow them to run faster, hit harder, and compete longer, and then cash in on the fame and wealth.

Extensive research that backed up everything he wrote about
Revisado: 11-08-24
Since I was in Major League Baseball for 30 years, including when steroids were suspected and later proven, there was no doubt their was rampant steroid use. The problem was we, as medical professionals, weren’t allowed to do testing. I repeatedly talked to players about the dangers associated with anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. But Bud Seileg and the players association chose to ignore the program because home runs were put people in the stands and money in the owners pockets. Also it is a little late, I commend the writers who exposed it for what it was CHEATING,

Historia
Pete Rose is a legend. A baseball god. He compiled more hits than anyone in the history of baseball, a record he set decades ago that still stands today. He was a working-class white guy from Cincinnati who made it; less talented than tough, and rough around the edges. He was everything that America wanted and needed him to be, the American dream personified, until he wasn’t. Charlie Hustle tells the full story of one of America’s most epic tragedies—the rise and fall of Pete Rose.

Well researched

Excellent work of research. Keith O’Brien didn’t write his “opinion”, he wrote a story, backed my research and facts, is a baseball player from the west side of Cincinnati who made a serious and grievous mistake and should have known better. I sat in the dugout with Pete for many years and still have great respect for him as a player. But he “fucked” up and is still paying for him. At same time I am proud to call him a friend. Congratulations to Keith O’Brien for telling the whole story and more importantly “the rest of the story!”

Historia
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Starr review
Revisado: 09-25-20
Being an avid runner and familiar with NIKE products, I was interested in Phil Knight’s book. It certainly didn’t disappoint me. It was all the emotions - humor, intrigue, surprise, unbelievable, and a fun read. I did the audible version because I wanted to picture Knight telling me his story. What a great book. Although it was about a shoe company, it certainly transcends the business of creating this billion dollar company. Loved his metaphors, both serious and funny. Bottom line, highly recommend it to all.
