Some assumed he would take himself out of the game to set the record at home. But not Pete. I believe he had another at bat with 4191 hits in Chicago but made an out.
Nope. The day before 4192 he didn't get a hit at all. 0 for 3 or 4. National media attention since the record was on the line and nothing. I missed that game and was just figuring I wouldn't get to see the record happen on live TV. The next day was around a TV and I saw it happen then promptly turned off the TV. My interest in baseball was already pretty much gone by that point in my life. I didn't even know the world series had happened for a week before finding out about the last Reds win and that was only because I saw someone wearing a shirt for it (I wasn't living in Cincy area anymore for 4192 or the series).
