Eric Show gave up Pete Rose's 4,192nd hit 30 years ago

Today is the thirtieth anniversary of Pete Rose surpassing Ty Cobb to become what he likes to sign on baseballs, "Hit King". Anytime I hear about that event, all I think of is Eric Show taking a seat on the mound while the hug-fest played out, and all the hubbub that surrounded that. I checked YouTube for a clip and was pleasantly surprised to find that the MLB digital overlords allowed the entire game to be on there.

I only made it through the first forty minutes because people won't stop calling and walking in the front door.
