The Cincinnati Reds honored Pete Rose at a recent game following his removal from Major League Baseball's permanent ineligibility list, posthumously announced by Commissioner Rob Manfred. Rose's family, friends, and former teammates gathered to share memories, while the crowd celebrated his immense contributions to baseball, showcasing his iconic No. 14. Hall of Famer Barry Larkin reflected on Rose's impact on the game, as Reds manager Terry Francona praised the competitive spirit Rose embodied. This celebration marked a significant moment in light of Rose's controversial gambling scandal and long-time exclusion from the sport.
"This city was my dad," Rose's daughter, Fawn, said.
"He played baseball with as much passion and competitive enjoyment as you ever could," said Reds manager Terry Francona.
Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday he was changing the league's policy on permanent ineligibility, saying bans would expire at death.
Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin shared stories about their former manager during a pregame panel.
