The Cincinnati Reds had one last weekend to celebrate Pete Rose, leaving him with nothing left to hope for. MLB has ruled that he will not be reinstated, blocking Rose from the Hall of Fame. That is his last frontier.
The Philadelphia Phillies plan to add Rose to their Wall of Fame this summer. That is akin to the New York Yankees’ Monument Park. It is the last celebration that Rose hasn’t been through, excluding the Hall of Fame.
The Reds gave Rose as iconic a statue as anyone could hope for. He is sliding head first with his hair in the wind.
