Reds Honoring Pete Rose Sept 12th?

  • Ironman92
    The Reds have been given permission to fully honor and celebrate Pete Rose's 25th anniversary of his 4192 career hit. His anniversary is on the 11th but ironically he has already committed to the Hollywood Casino for Friday and Saturday.

    Nothing has been set in stone......but I imagine it will happen on this date.

    Good news. I either want to see one of two things happen.

    1. Rose gets re-instated (without on-field managing/coaching privileges
    2. All of the steroid guys who are convicted or suspended by the league get banned from the Hall of Fame, officially (not just an unofficial writer's boycott).

    I really do not understand how you can cheat and get added on-field benefits that you give you a distinct advantage over non-users all while inflating your stats; but then you can come back and play in a month and a half if caught and you can also still make the Hall of Fame if you are a likable person... but at the same time if you put some money on your team you get banned for life.

    How safe would getting tickets or this be I wonder? I don't want to go watch the Pirates if he's not being honored.

    Sounds like you should be ok unless there is a casino or hooters opening on the 12th

    Got 7 tickets off of stub hub....front row section 145 $23 bucks each


    Game has really good prices as it is a head of household at full price and then all others 1/2 price

    Only other weekend times to do it would be the last weekend of season in OCT or next week...if it happens it will be on the 12th it appears......worst case scenario it doesn't happen and we have front row seats for a meaningful game in Sept

    This was one of the very first milestones I can remember and was old enough to understand it. Anyone under 35 probably doesn't think too much of this....but I'm going to predict an all-out spectacle.

    Perfect way to honor Pete Rose, can't make the actual date because of a Gambling Casino committment, perfect!!

    Typical city that has nothing else to be proud about. Honor a guy that broke the #1 rule in sports. Way to go queer city.

    I meant queen city.

    It would have been the 11th but Pete has a prior engagement at the Belterra with Yum Yum :)

    That's how my luck works....bought 7 tickets in the front row for Sunday's game.

    Just bought 2 tickets for the wife and I in row C of sect 144

    Look for it to get cancelled altogether.
