January 14, 201511 yr Well, not that HOF. This press release showed up in my inbox this morning. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Fans to Decide Whether Pete Rose Gets Inducted into the Hall of Fame Beginning today anyone can visit The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame to vote whether Pete Rose’s bobblehead should be the first one inducted into the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame. Milwaukee, WI – January 14, 2015 – For the first time ever, the public will have the ability to put Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame. Fans can visit The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame to make a simple “yes” or “no” vote as to whether the Pete Rose bobblehead should be the first one inducted into the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. Fans will also have the ability to help build a permanent home for Pete’s bobblehead by contributing as little as $1 to the Kickstarter campaign for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum which ends on Friday. When asked about the honor of being the first bobblehead ever inducted to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame Rose replied, “Being the only of anything is a big deal.” Although Rose currently holds more Major League Baseball records than any other player in history, including the most career hits with 4,256, his ban from baseball makes him ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. However, his bobbleheads are eligible for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame, and fans will be able to decide whether Pete should get the honor of being the first bobblehead inducted. “We want to settle this debate which has been going on for over 25 years right away for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum,” said National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum Co-Founder and CEO. “We have found no evidence of any wrongdoing by any of the Pete Rose bobbleheads, so we want to let the public decide whether a Pete Rose bobblehead should have the honor of being the first inducted into the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame.” About the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum was announced on November 18, 2014, and is expected to be located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and open in 2016. The Hall of Fame and Museum currently has a Kickstarter campaign, which concludes on January 16th, to fund the physical building. When it opens, the Hall of Fame and Museum is expected to house the world’s largest bobblehead collection and bobblehead-related exhibits.
