Pete Rose's recent reinstatement from the MLB's permanent ineligibility list has sparked celebrations in Cincinnati, marking a significant moment for the Reds organization and the local community. During a game against the White Sox, the team honored Rose with a pre-game moment of silence, alongside performances from his former teammates and students from his high school. Known for his exceptional career as a 17-time All-Star, Rose's reinstatement opens the possibility of Hall of Fame eligibility, pending a vote in 2027, despite his controversial ban for gambling on games as a player and manager.
Reds relieve Brent Suter, a native of Cincinnati, recounted his father's stories about Rose, emphasizing his grit: 'Never took a play off, always was running hard 90 feet.'
Reds' manager Terry Francona noted Rose's passion, stating, 'He played baseball with as much passion and competitive enjoyment as you ever could. You wanted to be on his team.'
