MILWAUKEE — Leading off for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum: Pete Rose.
The former Cincinnati Reds star will be the inaugural inductee to the new bobblehead hall on Saturday at a ceremony in a downtown Milwaukee theater.
Rose is baseball's career hits leader and 17-time All-Star. He agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 after an investigation for Major League Baseball found Rose placed numerous bets on the Reds to win while playing for and managing the team.
Bobblehead museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said voters in an online poll overwhelmingly approved of inducting Rose.
