There's history and then some in this cudgel used by Rose in 1985 -- the year he broke Ty Cobb's hit record. This Mizuno PR 4192 may well have cranked out more than a few of the safeties that propelled him over the top. As always with a Rose item, of course, there is a double edge to this sword. For while his hustle earned him the hit record, and a pricless moniker, Charlie's off-field "hustle" is also what kept him out of the Hall of Fame. The sleek black bat is a special sigature model with "PR 4192" decaled onto the sweet spot, commemorating his lifetime achievement in baseball. The bat displays great game use with top of handle taped, and is signed on the sweet spot in thin silver sharpie, "Best Wishes, Pete Rose". Knob with handwritten "14 ATHL" in white marker. "14" written on opposite end in silver sharpie.
