Ahead of Pete Rose Night at Great American Ballpark, White Sox utility man Josh Rojas said MLB reinstating Rose is better late than never, but he wishes Rose was still alive to see it happen.

Rose played for the Cincinnati Reds from 1963 through 1978, then returned again to play and manage at the end of his career. The Reds will pay tribute to him on Wednesday night in Cincinnati.

Major League Baseball's decision on Tuesday to lift Pete Rose's ban from the Hall of Fame sent shockwaves that are still reverberating to this very moment. Many have expressed discomfort toward the recent news while vehemently berating MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.
