When Ty Cobb retired in the 1920s, his astounding career hits total stood as a mark that seemed nearly impossible for anyone to match. As the years and decades went by, some of his dozens of MLB records fell, but that mark continued to stand. It took nearly 60 years for the record to fall. On September 11, 1985, Pete Rose came to the plate against the San Diego Padres. The 44-year-old player-manager lined a single to left-center in the first inning off San Diego's Eric Show for his 4,192nd hit. He finished his career with 4,256 hits, a record it is safe to say will never even be threatened. Offered here is a ticket from that historic game, signed by Pete Rose in bold blue ink. Charlie Hustle inscribed "ALL TIME HITS LEADER 4192" underneath his PSA/DNA 10 autograph.
