Top games in Cincinnati Reds history: No. 48 – Pete Rose was heroic in Game 4 of 1973 NLCS

The poster covered parts of bedroom walls all over Greater Cincinnati for years.

It depicted Pete Rose rounding second base, right fist raised shoulder high, a dejected New York Mets shortstop Bud Harrelson in the background looking down at the Shea Stadium infield.

Across the top of the poster, the word “Rose” is written in large, white, lower-case letters.

Rose, the Cincinnati Reds' combative left fielder and leadoff hitter, is completing in the poster his triumphant trip around the bases following a 12th-inning, one-out solo home run off New York right-hander Harry Parker that gave Cincinnati a 2-1 lead in Game 4 of the 1973 best-of-five National League Championship Series.
