The report goes on to explain how it can be proven that Rose did indeed use the bat in game action. He didn’t know it at the time, but it was the one Rose had used on that July Fourth weekend in Philadelphia. He sent his Babe Ruth-signed ball (along with a cash difference that we won’t mention in deference to his fear that his wife will find out) and in return received his game-used Black Mizuno PR4192. Schubert balked at parting with the cash necessary to get his hands on the PR4192, despite its great condition, and despite his long-held desire for a Pete Rose bat. But he always wanted one of Pete Rose’s bats. Here’s more from the story:īill Schubert considers himself an amateur collector, though the analyst from Stockton, Calif., did own one big-time piece of memorabilia: a Babe Ruth-signed baseball. But it’s no mystery he was a gambler, and people who are in debt take some serious risks to get out. You might ask yourself why Rose would sell the bat if he was aware it was illegal and people knew he used it. The Wolter family won’t discuss the actual price, but they claim it was the highest amount ever paid for a single piece of sports memorabilia at that time. Though the Hall Of Fame requested it, Pete Rose sold the record-breaking bat to Steve Wolter.
11, the very day Rose broke baseball’s all-time hit record, Wolter made him an offer. He got to know Pete, came to consider him a friend.
In honor of his quest for 4,192 hits, they were dubbed the PR4192. The bats were 34 inches long, and weighed 31.6 ounces. His trademark quick swing not nearly as quick as it used to be, Rose ordered his bats a little lighter than usual to shorten up his motion. Before the season, Rose had a box of about 30 black Mizuno bats specially made for him. It was the only reason he was still playing baseball. Rose was in hot pursuit of Ty Cobb’s iconic record of 4,191 hits.
