Wednesday, September 11th

IN THE NEWS: Pete Rose becomes baseball's all-time hit leader, singling to left center off Eric Show in the first inning of the Reds' 2–0 win over San Diego. His 4,192nd career hit breaks Ty Cobb's record before 47,237 fans at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium. Rose had tied the record at Wrigley Field on September 8th with a single off the Cubs' Reggie Patterson in a game that was later suspended due to darkness, enabling Rose to break the record at home.

John Tudor allows three hits in 10 innings for his 3rd consecutive shutout, outdueling Dwight Gooden and the Mets 1–0 to move St. Louis back into a first-place tie with New York in the National League East. Cesar Cedeno's 10th-inning homer provides the game's only run.

Milwaukee beats New York 4–3 to end the Yankees' winning streak at 11 games. New York now trails first-place Toronto by 2 1/2 games in the American League East.

IN THE NEWS: Rickey Henderson steals his 75th base of the season in the Yankees 10–2 win over Detroit, breaking the club record of 74 set by Fritz Maisel in 1914.

Mike Greenwell hits his first ML home run, in the top of the 13th inning, to give the Red Sox a 4–2 win at Toronto.

With the score tied 4–4 in the bottom of the 9th. Davey Lopes walks, steals 2B and 3B and scores on a pinch single by Chris Speier as the Cubs beat the Mets, 5–4. Gary Carter's grand slam accounts for all the Mets scoring. Lopes has three steals in the game to give him 47 (in just 275 at bats) and he sets the record most stolen bases by a player over 40. The record was set by Honus Wagner in 1914 with 23. Lopes is officially recorded at 39 but when he signed at age 22 he was afraid he was too old so he set his age back a year.
