Cool story ... I was living in the Cincy area the year he broke the record. As the season went on, it was like a betting on a lottery of buying tickets for the game he would get it. I missed by one day, and saw hit 4,193.
Not a Reds fan. They beat the Yanks in 76...no destroyed them...and I’m a huge Yankees fan. BUT. The Reds deserved it. What a great team the Big Red Machine was back in the day. And Pete Rose was friggin fantastic....Charlie Hustle.....never be another like him.
