Charlie Hustle

Today marks the 26th anniversary of Pete Rose breaking Ty Cobb's all-time career hit record. 

"Charlie Hustle" Rose made his 4,192nd base hit on September 11, 1985.

Rose retired in 1986 following a career spanning 24 years and 4,256 hits.

Rose later admitted that he had gambled on baseball thereby making him ineligible for induction to The Baseball Hall of Fame.  Today he remains the only living member of the ineligible list.
