July 26, 1984
It was on this date in 1984,
that Montreal Expos first baseman Pete Rose collected the 3502nd single of his
major league career, tying him for Ty Cobb on the all-time Major League list. Rose’s
hit came against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 5-4 Expos’ win at Montreal’s
Olympic Stadium.
Rose would end his career with 3215 singles, accounting for 75 percent of
his Major League record 4256 hits. Again, another example of why Pete Rose
should be in the Hall of Fame.
And today being Hall of Fame induction day, Major League Baseball should take a good look at itself and figure out why they insist on keeping him out.
