Summary

Today Action Network hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter are joined by a very special guest. Keith O'Brien is an award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author, with a new book more relevant this week than he ever imagined. Titled "CHARLIE HUSTLE: THE RISE AND FALL OF PETE ROSE AND THE LAST GLORY DAYS OF BASEBALL," the book outlines the gambling investigation into Pete Rose and his gambling habits, covertly conducted by Major League Baseball. The trio discuss the parallels between Rose and the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani, the international megastar ensnared in his own betting scandal this week. We hear comparisons between the modern sports universe and that of the 1970s and 1980s, the conduct of the office of the commissioner, and the changing role of MLB with their newfound embrace of legal sports betting. And speaking of legal sports wagering, for North Carolina listeners looking for the best sportsbook sign-up offers, those can be found via this link. Learn more about your ad choices.
