Pete Rose started playing professional baseball in 1960 with the minor league Geneva (NY) Red Legs and by 1963 he reached the Major Leagues as a rookie second baseman with the National League's Cincinnati Reds. Rose won the National League's Rookie of the Year Award for 1963. Rose played 24 Major League seasons, most with the Reds (1963-1978, 1984-1986), but he also spent four seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies (1980-1983) and part of a season with the Montreal Expos (1984). .
Rose's first Major League hit occurred April 13, 1963 and more than 22 years later, on September 11, 1985 he broke one of the most unbreakable of all baseball feats: Ty Cobb's career hits record. Rose leads all of baseball with a total of 4,256 career hits. Both his first and record-breaking hits were singles.
