Rose was banned from MLB in 1989 because of gambling, including betting on baseball. Rose played 24 years in the major leagues and retired in 1986 as baseball’s all-time hits leader with 4,256. Greenberg also noted in the Palm Beach Post article that he is “confident that he had not yet corked any bats for Rose during that first home series.” Greenberg told the Post that Rose owned “one of Ty Cobb’s bats and he was going to use that Ty Cobb bat in the game to get the 4,000th hit, but he broke it in batting practice.” One of the highlights of Rose’s stint as an Expo came during the team’s home opener on April 13, 1984, when Rose doubled off Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jerry Koosman to join the legendary Ty Cobb as the only Major League Baseball (MLB) players to collect 4,000 hits. Greenberg said he brought the corked bats to the Olympic Stadium, and that Rose “slipped me some money once in a while.” “It took me 10 minutes to do a bat,” Greenberg said. Greenberg said Rose shipped dozens of Mizuno bats to Greenberg’s house in Dorval, where he would drill and then cork the bats. The umpire took away Nettles’ single and removed the bat from the game.
