On Pete Rose Night, the Cincinnati Reds honor the legendary player with various festivities, coinciding with a recent policy change from MLB commissioner Rob Manfred regarding the eligibility of former players for the Hall of Fame. Rose, who had been banned from baseball since 1989 for betting on games, now qualifies for consideration posthumously after his passing on September 30, 2024. Fans attending the game will receive a No. 14 jersey, reinforcing his impact on the franchise and the sport overall.
"Pete Rose Night is a historic celebration recognizing the legacy of a three-time World Series champion and 17-time All-Star, whose contributions to baseball are immense."
"Manfredâs recent ruling means that Pete Rose, who was permanently ineligible due to betting scandals, can finally be considered for the Hall of Fame after his passing."
