The Cincinnati Reds announced this morning that Pete Rose would be inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame. The ceremony will take place the weekend of June 24-26. Pete’s number #14, which has been defacto retired since he wore it, will be officially retired. They’ll also build a statue to join the others from the Big Red Machine era.
There’s lots of hyperventilating about this on the internets. Calm down. Pete Rose had a career that stretched 19 years with the Reds. His performance on the field is certainly worthy of the highest recognition.
