Pete Rose is off the MLB ineligible list and permitted for Hall of Fame consideration. The Cincinnati Reds are taking advantage of the moment.  As luck would have it, the Reds already had "Pete Rose Night" scheduled for Wednesday,

Mike Schmidt: "There's a cloud.. ... I think if you posed the question to all the living Hall of Famers right now, I think it would almost be 50-50."

Ahead of Pete Rose Night at Great American Ballpark, White Sox utility man Josh Rojas said MLB reinstating Rose is better late than never, but he wishes Rose was still alive to see it happen.

Pete Rose was celebrated by the Cincinnati Reds a day after baseball’s career hits leader was posthumously removed from Major League Baseball’s permanent ineligibility list.

"Absolutely pathetic they waited for Pete Rose to pass away before giving him his day in the sun," Gary Sheffield Jr. tweeted. "Reprehensible."

The Cincinnati Reds hosted Pete Rose Night on Wednesday night at Great American Ball Park. Rose finished his career with 4,256 hits, three World Series Championships, 17 All-Star appearances and one MVP. He was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in 2016. There's a statue of Rose outside of Great American Ballpark.

Pete Rose reinstated, Paul Skenes joins Team USA & and a wild Tuesday night across the MLB. Jake and Jordan have a lot of thoughts about everything that happened on a hectic Tuesday. Take a mid-week break and come on over to the Baseball Bar-B-Cast.

Marty Brennaman: "(Pete Rose) dies and dammit, five months later they elect to make him eligible again. I've got a real problem with that."
