Cincinnati - Pete Rose was celebrated by the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night, the second day after his baseball career hit rate leader, removed from the MLB’s permanent non-compliance roster after his death.

There is an ode to "Peter! Pitt!" in the Big Ball Park in the United States. During the pre-match silence moment, Rose's choir in Cincinna's uplifting performed the national anthem. No. 14 is everywhere, from copy jerseys in the stands to highlights displayed on the video board.

This is the full effort that Rose will appreciate.

Rose's daughter, Xiaolu, said: "This city is my father."

The team announced plans to celebrate Rose after her death last fall.

Hall of Fame shortstops Barry Larkin and Eric Davis, who played for Rose while managing the Reds, shared stories about their former manager in the pre-match group and were joined by former Rose teammate George Foster. Members of the Ross family conveyed the game before Cincinnati lost 4-2 to the Chicago White Sox.

"He enjoys playing baseball with as much enthusiasm and competition as possible," said Reds manager Terry Francona. "You want to join his team. ”

Rose died in September at the age of 83, playing for the Reds in 19 of his 24 seasons and won two of his three World Series titles with his hometown team. His career was damaged by a gambling scandal, resulting in a permanent ban on August 23, 1989.

A survey commissioned by Major League Baseball concluded that Rose was a 17-time All-Star game that completed with 4,256 hits, from 1985 to 1987, as a team and team manager, repeatedly betting on the Reds, which violated long-standing MLB rules.

Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday that he is changing the league's policy on permanent non-qualifications, saying the ban will expire at the time of death. Manfred met with Jeffrey Lenkov, the attorney representing Pete Rose, on December 17.

Manfred is “very kind and kind,” said Fawn Rose. “It really gave me a forum to talk about my dad, not a baseball player, but my dad, grandfather and what he meant to Cincinnati (fans).

Pete Rose Jr. But he called the change a step in the right direction.

"Hate to say that, but that won't bring him back," he said. "If they say you won't be eliminated, but you're back, hey, bring him back. But today there's only a positive attitude."

This is not the case when Rose's gambling ban makes him a baseball competition, in a city proudly owning its home as the oldest Major League Baseball home. His hometown was almost his homeland, because of his relentless style of playing and his connection to the Big Red Machine - the main red agency of the mid-1970s.

"My dad used to tell me all the stories of how hard he played every time," said Cincinnati native Reds Reliever Brent Suter. "You know, never played a game, always running on 90 (foot), sliding first, you know, every game gets dirty. ... It's a tough, tough guy that just embodied."

There are long lines on several gates, with 43,585 people throwing into the court. Before entering the stadium, a steady group of fans stopped in front of Rose’s statue to take pictures.

As the players practice batting, there is a black tarpaulin on the pitcher's mound.

"I remember his hustle and bustle," said Bob Wunder, 65, of Dayton, Ohio. "He was a man who didn't have a lot of talent, but he worked hard."

Wunder expressed frustration at the timing of Manfred's decision.

"It's awful. They should have done it while he's still alive," he said. "If I were a (Rose) family, I would say, 'Thank you, but no, thank you.' I'm not happy that I have to wait until he dies."

Rose's change in identity qualifies him for the Baseball Hall of Fame - a long-standing pain for Rose's most ardent supporter - but his Cooperstown induction is far from given.

Rose's case will be considered by Hall's Classic Baseball Era committee and players will be considered next in December 2027 meeting. A 10-person group selected eight voting candidates with approval from the lobby board, and at the winter meeting, 16 members considered the group and required a 75% or higher vote.

"I know I've simplified things too much. But what Pete does as a player, if he's not there, there's no Hall of Fame," Francona said. "But I get it. Some things...I'm glad I don't have to make (those) decisions."

Jerry Casebolt, 80, of Florence, Kentucky, stopped and took his picture in front of the Rose statue before the game. He said he was at the 1970 All-Star Game when Rose beat Ray Fosse on an unforgettable plate and he also played when Rose broke Ty Cobb's hit record.

It makes sense for him to remove roses from the unqualified list.

"It's nice to hear this," he said. "Just opening the door (to the Hall of Fame), but it's still questionable. Hopefully he can get in. Unfortunately he didn't see it."
