Peter Edward Rose Broke
Ty Cobb's all-time hit record on September 11, 1985. The very next day he
appeared on Donahue in Cincinnati. Pete discusses Ty Cobb's temper,
his record-breaking hit from the previous day, and the chances of his son
beating his hit record
(PRJ is 4,254 shy). Pete's appearance on Donahue in Cincinnati is
an elite illustration of his overall demeanor while he was still playing his
beloved game. The excitement and pride that Pete induced in his home town is
irrefutable. As Pete delights the crowd of Cincinnatians, I am reminded of
the baseball player that we all grew to love; not the player who now
leaves us
bewildered.
Bronson Arroyo (4-2, 4.85) will face Ross Ohlendorf (0-2, 5.30) and the
Pirates at 7:10pm on Wednesday. The Reds and Cardinals both lost on Tuesday
and remain tied for first place in the NL Central.
After throwing for Bats' trainers on Tuesday, LHP Aroldis Chapman (4-2,
3.98) showed no lingering effects of the blister that caused him to miss his
last start. Chapman will return to the mound for the Bats on Thursday
against the Gwinnett Braves.
