On the evening of September 11, 1985, before a sellout crowd of 52,000 at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Pete Rose was poised to collect hit number 4,192 of his long brilliant career, passing Ty Cobb as the all-time career hits leader. Rose came up to bat in the first inning against the San Diego Padres Eric Show and on the fourth pitch lined a clean single to left center. As he reached first base, thousands of camera flash bulbs fired off rapidly, his teammates mobbed him, fireworks exploded above the stadium and the crowd overwhelmed him with an unprecedented nine-minute standing ovation. In 1963 Pete Rose ran to first base on a walk. Baseball was never the same. From Pete's first at bat to that immortal September evening where history was made, "4192" traces the Hit King's rise as one of baseball's greatest and most controversial stars.

Another hit for Pete!

I am lucky enough to know Pete Rose and I was lucky enough to be included in the first premier of his new documentary 4192.. I can't say enough good things about this movie. Not only was it well done, but it was a story told by Pete, about Pete, for the fans. Pete Rose has always been about the fans and he still is. I think that having Tony Perez and Mike Schmidt in the movie was also awesome. Former team mates talking about how Pete played the way he did and what an honor it was for them and him. It's inspirational, uplifting, and a little emotional. If you had a child that played baseball or any sport for that matter you would most definitely want them to see this movie. I loved it! Could have named this movie 4193 because it's another hit for Pete!!
