"Pete Rose Night" was a previously planned promotion by the Reds, but it's unclear how much of the festivities were going to be held prior to Tuesday's announcement. The Reds wore No. 14 warm-up shirts before Wednesday's game, and they also played a three-minute tribute video honoring Rose.

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.

The decision, announced by commissioner Rob Manfred Tuesday, makes the sport’s all-time hit king eligible for election to the Hall of Fame.
