pete rose hits records

[prichmond]

Curious if anyone can confirm this. Yesterday I heard on san francisco sprots talk radio that when pete rose was tied with Ty Cobb for the hits record he changed his uniform every inning so he could have nine game used uniforms. True?

We heard that in here Cincy at the time. Typical Pete if it's true!

Rose may have worn more than one, but I don't think it was nine; now I did hear that Gaylord Perry wore 9 jerseys the night he won career game 300 back in 1982.............

well i guess you could say they were planning ahead

No, Pete wore three jerseys during the 4192 Hit game. He kept one, gave one to Marge Schott, and sold the important one to Barry Halper -- along with the pants, spikes, batting helmet, hat, and warm-up jacket.

MLB purchased the spikes and helmet from Barry Halper and donated them to the Baseball HOF.
