CINCINNATI — A new exhibit chronicling Pete Rose’s quest to surpass Ty Cobb’s Major League record for most career hits is now open at the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum.

4192: Pete Rose and the Pursuit of Baseball’s All-Time Hit Record, sponsored by Clark Schaefer Hackett, explores Rose’s pursuit of the record that was long thought to be untouchable.

Through period artifacts, film and a graphic timeline, the story of the most prolific hitter in the game’s history is brought to life. Visitors can re-live the magical night of September 11, 1985 when Rose passed Cobb and set off a city-wide celebration like no other.
