Rose Going Into Reds HOF

The Cincinnati Reds say that Pete Rose will be inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in June. CEO Bob Castellini says it will happen during the 20-16 Hall of Fame induction Weekend from June 24th to 26th. He says inducting Pete into the Reds Hall of Fame will be a defining moment in the 147 –year history of the storied franchise. Rose is baseball’s all-time hits leader and is unlikely to be elected in the Baseball Hal of Fame in Cooperstown since he is serving a lifetime ban for betting on baseball. Castellini says a Rose statue will be built at Great American Ballpark. The Reds also announced they will retire Rose’s #14 jersey during the HOF ceremony.
