As luck would have it, the Reds already had "Pete Rose Night" scheduled for Wednesday, one day after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced he was removing Rose and 15 other deceased ball players from MLB's permanently ineligible list. The decision opens the door for Rose to get his first shot at the Hall of Fame in December 2027.
When Pete Rose died last year, obituaries seemed to struggle with the nuance of a great player and a complicated man.
The city, in collaboration with the Cincinnati Reds, will dedicate a baseball field in Rose's honor at Boldface Park in Sedamsville.
