Mariners draft their own 'Charlie Hustle'
Posted Jun 10, 2009
Dustin Ackley says he patterns himself after Pete Rose. The player, not the man. "The hustle part," said Ackley, who the Seattle Mariners selected Tuesday with the second overall pick in baseball's amateur draft. "Watching how he hustled and played the game, I've tried to take from that," said Ackley, a first baseman/outfielder whose sweet left-handed swing helped lead North Carolina to the College World Series.
