...Star, does not seem to be able to recall any of his numbers or hold on to many of his trophies, except for the 3,000 hits and 400 home runs, of course. No other American Leaguer ever achieved that parlay. Only Henry Aaron, Willie Mays and Stan Musial of the National League, and Carl Yastrzemski. Yaz has kept just those two baseballs in 22 years. Yastrzemski's habit is to relay his trophies, like an ordinary cutoff man, to Presidents of the U.S. "I've presented one to every President since Kennedy," he says. "What should...
...minutes in the morning and again at lunchtime. Reagan approves a few appointments, mostly routine and obscure, and makes a few phone calls (last week to Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis on the air-controllers' strike, and to Philadelphia First Baseman Pete Rose on his breaking Stan Musial's National League record for total hits). That is about the extent of Reagan's workday...
...second installment of the 1981 baseball season. Pete Rose's eighth-inning single off Cardinal Pitcher Mark Littell was what the 60,561 spectators at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium had come to see. It was Rose's 3,631st career hit, and it broke Stan Musial's 18-year-old National League record.

In the locker room afterward, Pete was handed the telephone. "This...
...Most worked out regularly in the early days of the strike, but slacked off as hopes for a settlement faded. Few were as conscientious as Pete Rose of the Phillies, who took as many as 400 swings every day against an automatic pitching machine. Rose, 40, tied Stan Musial's National League record of 3,630 hits two days before the strike began, and doubts that lost playing time will wreck his chance of topping Ty Cobb's record of 4,191 hits. "If I get close enough to Cobb's record," says Rose, "Johnson & Johnson will...
...example, is looking to surpass Ty Cobb's record of 4,191 hits and become baseball's alltime hit leader; Rose is at 3,630 now, but at 40, will need another few seasons to catch Cobb. Indeed, he needs only one more hit to pass Stan Musial; he got a hit last week-in a softball game in Cincinnati. Tom Seaver of the Reds needs 48 wins to join that select group of pitchers with 300 career victories; at 36, he cannot easily afford to lose a season's pitching starts...
