I have a scorecard that was purchased at old Crosley Field, and due to the fact that the original owner scored the game in pencil, I have been able to trace it to the second game of a doubleheader played vs. Philadelphia on May 26, 1963. I this particular game, Pete Rose batted and struck out 4 consecutive times. In other words, he played the entire game without ever putting the ball in play while batting. After looking up his career stats and then doing some math, I learned that Rose struck out an average just 8 times for every 100 times he batted. Rose was the ultimate contact hitter. For him to have struck out 4 times in a row in the same game almost has to be a one time thing. Does anybody know how I can check this out? I tried googling it, but had no success. Thanks.
