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.

He played first for the Phillies and won the World Series. Pete could play anywhere on the field and his bat never failed.

Rose was a 17-time all-star.

Even, if you exclude the last seven years of his career, he would have been a HOF.
