Re: Pete Rose FYIs
fyi, Here's an interesting quote from page 145 of "Countdown To Cobb."
"Wednesday, July 24
... I had two singles today, which leaves me 31 hits short of breaking the Cobb record. We've got 70 games to go.
I singled to right in the first inning off Rick Aguilera to give us a 1-0 lead. He threw me the same pitch that I had swung on and missed before. I just choked up on the bat a little more the second time. Made the bat lighter and quicker. He was throwing a little harder than I thought."
This makes me wonder why Rose would need to use a lighter, corked bat if he could just choke up on his regular bat.
