On September 11, 1985,  At Riverfront Stadium in front of 47,237 hometown fans, Reds’ player-manager Pete Rose collects his 4,192nd career hit to pass Ty Cobb, who had his last at bat on this date 57 years ago, to become the all-time major league hit leader.    In the first inning of a 2-0 win over the San Diego Padres, Rose singles to left field against San Diego starter Eric Show. Rose had tied the record at Wrigley Field on September 8 with a single off the Cubs’ Reggie Patterson in a game that was later suspended due to darkness, enabling Rose to break the record at home.
