Pete Rose is headed into the team hall of fame in Cincinnati, his hometown, the Reds said Tuesday.
The Reds’ announcement came after Rob Manfred, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, last month rejected Rose’s application for reinstatement. Manfred concluded that Rose, 74, baseball’s career hits leader, continued to gamble even while seeking to end the lifetime ban imposed in 1989 for betting on numerous Reds games while playing for and managing the team.
The Reds’ team hall of fame induction is planned for the weekend of June 24 to 26.
Because Rose is on baseball’s permanently ineligible list, he has been kept off the ballot for the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Rose said after Manfred’s decision that he still held out hope that he would one day be inducted.
In a statement, the Reds’ chief executive, Bob Castellini, said, “He is one of the greatest players to ever wear a Reds uniform, and it will be an unforgettable experience watching him being honored as such.”
The club’s hall of fame board chose Rose as the sole inductee for this year. Ken Griffey Jr., who will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer, was among the latest inductees to the Reds’ hall, which has 85 members.
It has many of the members of the 1975-76 World Series teams, which were known as the Big Red Machine, including the manager Sparky Anderson. Rose will be the final inductee from the starting eight position players of Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, David Concepcion, George Foster, Cesar Geronimo and Ken Griffey Sr.
