Yes, the Big Red Machine had a Saturday date at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium in the World Series with the eventual American League Champion New York Yankees, but the man who would become baseball’s “Hit King” appeared focused on the eight-race card at Keeneland.

Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose died Monday. He was 83. After reaching the pinnacle of the sport he loved, Rose was banned from baseball in 1989 for gambling while manager of his hometown Reds. That came just four years after Rose had broken Ty Cobb’s hit record, a mark that still stands. He is MLB's all-time hits leader with 4,256.
