Baseball legend Pete Rose is set to be commemorated in November, with his loved ones organizing a 14-hour public visitation for fans at the Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds.
The team disclosed the arrangements on Thursday, indicating it will be a full-day affair from 7 AM until 9 PM, reflecting Charlie Hustle’s iconic jersey number.
This event will be free to the public, with the Reds expressing their hope that fans can “come together, celebrate his remarkable legacy, and bid farewell.”
Following the public visitation, Rose’s family will conduct a private funeral for him.
The Reds have also announced that a tribute will take place at a game on May 14, 2025, which will be honored as “Pete Rose Day.”
In a message of gratitude, Rose’s family expressed their appreciation for the outpouring of support following his passing, stating, “We are profoundly touched by the immense love and support from the residents of Cincinnati, the broader baseball community, and fans globally as we grieve the loss of our cherished father, grandfather, and brother, Pete Rose.”
As previously reported, Rose passed away in his home in Las Vegas on September 30.
During his extensive 24-year career in Major League Baseball, Rose, a 17-time All-Star, played for the Reds, Phillies, and Expos, securing three World Series titles and earning the Fall Classic MVP award in 1975.
Rest in peace.
