MVP. No player in the 100+ year history of Major League Baseball had more hits than Pete, who accumulated an astounding 4,256 hits over his 24-season career. In the field, Rose was very versatile … playing first base, second base, and the outfield. Pete spent the majority of his legendary career with the Cincinnati Reds, but also played for the Philadelphia Phillies and Montreal Expos, before returning to Cinci and finishing his career as a player-manager.

That came just four years after Rose had broken Ty Cobb’s hit record, a mark that still stands. He is MLB’s all-time hits leader with 4,256. The lifetime ban from the game kept the Sedamsville native out of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, even though he still holds numerous career and single-season records. In addition to the hit title, Rose also played in more games, had more at-bats, had gotten on base more and had singled more than anyone in baseball history. He also made the most outs in MLB history. Rose was named National League Rookie of the Year in his first year for the Reds in 1963, even though he had barely been scouted and got a tryout only because of his uncle’s connections. Over his 24-year career, Rose was named an All-Star 17 times and was the National League’s Most Valuable Player in 1973. He won three batting titles and two Gold Gloves despite playing more than 500 games at five different positions during his career. His 44-game hitting streak in 1978 garnered national attention as well, eventually tying a nearly 100-year-old National League record and setting the modern-day mark for the NL.
