The Cincinnati Reds star officially broke Ty Cobb's record of 4,191 hits on September 11, 1985 at Riverfront Stadium. He hit a first-inning single off San Diego Padres pitcher Eric Show. But revised statistical information reveals that Cobb actually had 4,189 career hits, which means Rose actually broke the record three days earlier with a hit against Chicaco Cubs pitcher Reggie Patterson at Wrigley Field.

Rose ended his playing career in 1986 with 4,256 career hits.
