Ty Cobb. It had been .367 for a while, but they discovered that they counted a couple of hits twice and adjusted it to .366.

Ty Cobb had a career betting average of .366 from the years 1905-1928

Bencas has it right. Cobb is correctly credited with 4189 hits and a .366 AVG; a game in which he went 2-3 had been recorded twice. That error was corrected (inexplicably, some sources STILL haven't gotten the word; this information is now over ten years old).
Meaning Rose really broke the hits record two nights earlier, but no one realized it then.

.366 Cobb
bencas9900,
There were mistakes on more than two of Cobb's hits. Some were taken away and some added. And more than just the number of hits changed.
And some sources won't change it.
