Unfortunately, Pete Rose’s gambling scandal while manager of the Reds has overshadowed his on-the-field performance.

Throughout his 24-year career, Rose had numerous achievements, but his 4,256 career hits is the most memorable.

Prior to Rose, Ty Cobb held the hits record with 4,189. Most in baseball view 3,000 hits as a career milestone, so 4,000 hits is that much more impressive.

Among active players, Derek Jeter has the most career hits. He’s just a few away from joining the 3,000-hit club.
