Canadian Baseball Card of the Week: 1985 Fleer Pete Rose – 4000th Hit.

On April 13, 1984, he hit a double off of Phillies southpaw Jerry Koosman at Olympic Stadium. One of the batting gloves that Rose wore for this historic hit is on display at the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in St. Marys, Ont.
