1978
The Braves trounce the Reds 16-4 and stop Pete Rose's record hitting streak at 44 games. Larry McWilliams and Gene Garber are the Atlanta pitchers. Rose goes 0-for-4. Rose's streak is the 2nd longest in ML history. He goes 70-for-182 during the skein‚ an average of .385. Rose grumbles about using a relief ace with an 11-run lead‚ "You would have thought it was the seventh game of the World Series‚" after Garber uses his best stuff to strike him out to end the game.
You'd think that Pete Rose was hyper-competitive with that quote.
