In addition to the hit title, Rose also played in more games, had more at-bats, had gotten on base more and had singled more than anyone in baseball history. He also made the most outs in MLB history.

That's my one criticism of a player like that. Most of the records he set are only in his name because he hung around long enough to get them.

By the end he was really a pathetic sight, too. He played first base just to stay on the field and break Ty Cobb's record, even though he absolutely did not belong at that position.
