1 The Epitome of Pete Rose

I remember listening to this game and Marty Brenneman went out of his mind. The Reds had chased the Dodgers all season long before a terrible August slump took them out of contention. The Reds were eliminated but they still found the fortitude to rally for 6 in the bottom of the 9th in a meaningless game. Pete Rose led off the inning with a hit and knocked in the winning run with his second hit of the inning. It was one of his last games in a Reds uniform before leaving for Philly. The Reds ended the year on a seven game winning streak which was their longest of the year.
