January 19, 201610 yr Saw this on my email this morning, a press release from the Reds. News conference will be held today at 11Am. Pete Rose joining Reds Hall of Fame in 2016 | reds.com
January 19, 201610 yr Great news! This Cardinals fan tips his hat to one of the greatest to play the game.
January 19, 201610 yr I've been to the past 6 Induction Galas. Hope the HOF doesn't raise the price for this one. If not, I hope to be in attendance once again.
January 19, 201610 yr Can't wait to work the games that weekend. Might be the only buzz in the ballpark besides Opening Day. Should be awesome!
January 19, 201610 yr Why was he not already in the Reds hall? Did MLB ban it and has now lifted the ban for the Reds, but not the MLB hall?
January 19, 201610 yr Why was he not already in the Reds hall? Did MLB ban it and has now lifted the ban for the Reds, but not the MLB hall? Good question... He should've been one of the first guys in there...
January 19, 201610 yr Why was he not already in the Reds hall? Did MLB ban it and has now lifted the ban for the Reds, but not the MLB hall? They already show-ponied him at the All Star Game, might as well let him sell tickets for the Reds Hall too.
January 19, 201610 yr Why was he not already in the Reds hall? Did MLB ban it and has now lifted the ban for the Reds, but not the MLB hall? Not sure of all the legalities, but they said they recently amended the by-laws that allowed it, and they had to bet the Commissioner's permission, which he recently granted.
January 19, 201610 yr Not sure of all the legalities, but they said they recently amended the by-laws that allowed it, and they had to bet the Commissioner's permission, which he recently granted. So the Reds went to the league and said; We have no all star game this year, we have no players that anyone will recognize so can you throw us a bone and let us have one big weekend featuring the hit king?
January 19, 201610 yr ...and a statue is planned sometime. Pete says he would prefer to remembered with a head first slide and not him "standing at the two dollar window at Turfway Park!"
