I was at this game. During the rain delay, they showed Pete Rose's ABs live from Cincinnati on the big screen. He had 4191 hits at the time. He would hit #4192 the next day.

The game after this on 9-11-85 is one of the greatest regular season games of all time.

Both teams were awesome. People hated the fact I think both mid to late 80's teams were so good. The Mets were so complete in every way, a team of superstars . If the Cards pitching were on and they were all healthy, no one could keep up with them. Love the switch hitting.

Thi Cardinals team led the NL in runs scored despite hitting less than 100 homers collectively. That could never happen today, but back then speed, lack of strikeouts, doubles and OBP could make up for a lack of power.
