Trivia Answer
Wrigley Field was the site of Pete Rose's [u]4191st career base
hit, a single off Cubs pitcher Reggie Patterson on September 8,
1985, [u]tying "Charlie Hustle" with Ty Cobb for the all-time
mark.
So y'all tell me. Does Cactus get a point for this one? :)

What ballpark was Pete Rose playing in when he broke Ty Cobb's
career hit record?[left]
Answer: Riverfront Stadium, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
According to MLB, Ty Cobb had 4,191 career base hits. Rose got
his 4,192 base hit at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati on
September 11, 1985 off of Eric Show of the San Diego Padres.
However, in 1981, independent research found a game Cobb played
in 1910 where he got 2 base hits but was credited with 4. MLB
has refused to address the discrepancy, with then Commissioner
Bowie Kuhn stating that "The passage of 70 years, in our
judgment, constitutes a certain statute of limitation as to
recognizing any changes.". While MLB continues to state that
Cobb had 4,191 career base hits, most reference books and
encyclopedias put Cobb at 4,189. Two of the largest and most
popular baseball references, Baseball Almanac and Baseball
Reference, each list Cobb with 4,189 career hits.
If Cobb had 4,189, Rose's 4,190th came on September 8, 1985 at
Wrigley Field in Chicago off of Reggie Patterson of the Cubs.

Terry was 54, I think. Dave Smith wore it, but I don't know if
he was the last. He's the last I remember, so I'll go with
that.
