The Cincinnati Reds will honor Pete Rose during Wednesday night's game with a later start time. Here's when they play.

A former Cincinnati Red praised the move by Major League Baseball to reinstate Pete Rose, MLB’s all-time hit leader.

Shortly after the news broke, Reds Principal Owner and Managing Partner Bob Castellini released a statement expressing how "thankful" the organization was for MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's decision to reinstate Rose.

"On behalf of the Reds and our generations of loyal fans, we are thankful for the decision of Commissioner Manfred and Major League Baseball regarding the removal of Pete Rose from the permanently ineligible list.

Pete Rose has officially been taken off MLB’s permanently ineligible list, the league announced Tuesday. Baseball’s all-time hits leader was banned in 1989 after an investigation revealed that the longtime Cincinnati Reds star had placed bets while playing for and managing the team.

Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson received a posthumous reprieve from baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday, making both players eligible for the sport’s Hall of Fame after their careers were tarnished by gambling scandals.

"In some ways, he was ahead of his time, or the game. That’s how I choose to remember him." – Terry Francona on Pete Rose's legacy.

A total of 17 players are no longer banned from baseball as a result of MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's decision
