On September 19, 1984, Pete Rose added another chapter to his legendary career. In a 4–2 win over the Atlanta Braves, Rose notched his 100th hit of the season, marking the 22nd consecutive year he had reached that plateau—a feat unmatched in Major League history.
But he didn’t stop there. That same night, Rose also tied the National League record for career doubles, hitting his 725th to match the mark set by Hall of Famer Tris Speaker.
This wasn’t just a good game—it was a snapshot of Rose’s enduring greatness. At age 43, he was still producing, still hustling, and still rewriting the record books. His consistency across decades is part of what earned him the nickname Charlie Hustle and made him MLB’s all-time hit king.
