The reason is it is a different comparison.

Why ...Why doesn't you're list include any pitchers? Why not include Cy Young and his 511. He has 94 wins more than the #2 guy and 159 more than any active pitcher (Clemens) Including Rose who was essentially a stat monger for a singles hitter, you seem to have such a deep admiration for this bum and his 4,256 hits. To achieve this he only had to play in the most games ever...by anyone. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line is Rose doesn't deserve in the top 50 let alone top 10. I would put about 50 current players ahead of Rose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226651226377535274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-59720121882909871722007-08-09T22:06:00.000-04:002007-08-09T22:06:00.000-04:00One more thing on Pete Rose - why is his record so...One more thing on Pete Rose - why is his record so great? Look how far away active players are from his record. The closes is Craig Biggio, and he's about 1,100 hits shy.<BR/><BR/>There are only two players that have a shot at it, and its a stretch at best (Jeter and Pujols).<BR/><BR/>Now that I think about it, I may move Rose up even higher on the list.Middle Reliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413753701900586090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-9989632734000600382007-08-09T21:59:00.000-04:002007-08-09T21:59:00.000-04:00How can you question the all-time leader in hits? ...How can you question the all-time leader in hits?
