Born and raised in Cincinnati, Pete Rose is the all time leader in hits (4,256), games played (3,562), at bats (14,053) and outs (10,328). In August 1989, Rose agreed to permanent ineligibility from baseball due to allegations that he gambled on baseball.
Great American Ballpark pays a quiet tribute to Rose each night. Past the center field fence lies two smoke stacks. Each smoke stack has seven baseball bats which total fourteen, Rose’s number.
