Pete Rose Sets Multiple Milestones: Today in Sports History

On April 13th, 1963, Pete Rose tripled for his first MLB hit. 21 years later, on April 13th, 1984, Pete Rose collected his 4,000th MLB hit. Personally, I don’t want to celebrate this piece of shit too much, so let’s look back on Rose’s controversial legacy. Court documents allege that in the 1970s Rose had a sexual relationship with a minor who was under the age of 16, the age of consent in Ohio. Rose was in his mid-30s during the relationship. This constitutes to statutory rape. It’s also alleged that Rose had relations with girls between 12 and 14 during spring trainings down in Florida. When asked about the scandal by Alex Coffey, a female reporter from The Philadelphia Inquirer, in August 2022, Rose replied, “It was 55 years ago, babe”. Rose was penalized with permanent ineligibility from baseball in August of 1989 after being found to have bet on baseball games while playing for and managing the Cincinnati Reds. After over a decade of denial, Rose admitted his guilt in 2004. Rose applied for reinstatement in 1992, 1998, 2015, 2020 (in wake of the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal), and 2023 before his death in September 2024. On February 28th, 2025, United States President and fellow child rapist Donald Trump posthumously pardoned Pete Rose, but remained vague in what crimes would be annulled. Trump also criticized MLB for Rose’s ban. Commissioner Rob Manfred met with Trump in April of that year, and confirmed that Rose and his lifetime ban were discussed. A month later, Manfred instituted a change that made permanent eligibility expires after death, caving to the political pressure applied from the Commander in Queef. So yes, Rose collected two notable hits during his baseball on April 13th.

Please take a moment to look at the picture up above. Yes, that is true. Though it seems like a glitch in the matrix it’s not. These two individuals share the exact same name, same profession, some position, drafted by the same team, mostly hit towards the bottom of the order, and don’t even know each other. Completely unrelated too! I’d love to see these two on the same team one day.

Mookie Betts Number 300!

Mookie Betts hits his 300th home run against the Minnesota Twins on June 24, 2026. Mookie has been struggling this year but looks to bounce back and get back to the form we all know he can play at. Mookie is the 167th MLB player to have 300 or more home runs in his career.

500 / 500 Club, Membership of One

On June 23rd, 2003 In a dramatic extra inning game at Pac Bell Park (now Oracle Park) against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers, Bonds delivered one of the signature moments of his career. In the bottom of the 11th inning of a 2-2 tie, he reached base and then swiped second against prime-time closer Éric Gagné (one of the most dominant relievers of that era). That theft was his 500th career stolen base. He famously pulled the base out of the ground, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and carried it off the field as the crowd erupted. The Giants went on to win 3-2 in walk-off fashion, with Bonds scoring the winning run later in the inning. This moment capped an incredible stretch for Bonds. In 2003, despite playing only 130 games, he hit .341 with 45 HR, slugged .749, and posted a .529 on-base percentage — walking 148 times. en.wikipedia.org Love him or hate him (and the era's PED controversies fuel plenty of debate), the 500-500 club remains a club of one more than two decades later. It perfectly symbolizes the rare blend of power, speed, plate discipline, and longevity that defined Bonds at his peak. No one else has come close. This moment capped an incredible stretch for Bonds.
