Reds to host Pete Rose visitation at GABP on Nov. 10
CINCINNATI -- Reds fans will have an opportunity to say goodbye to the late Pete Rose during a visitation next month at Great American Ball Park.
The Reds will host the 14-hour visitation -- honoring the number he wore for Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Montreal during his 24-year career in the Major Leagues -- on Nov. 10 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET. It is free and open to the public.
"We are deeply moved by the overwhelming love and support from the people of Cincinnati, the entire baseball community, and fans across the world as we mourn the loss of our beloved Dad, Grandpa, and Brother, Pete Rose," Rose's daughter, Fawn, said in a statement shared by the Reds.
Guests will enter Great American Ball Park through the main gates on Crosley Terrace and be directed to queue lines leading to the visitation area that overlooks the field from the main concourse.
The Rose burial services will be private, according to Fawn Rose.
Pete Rose Day will be held at GABP on May 14, the statement also said. Cincinnati hosts the White Sox that day. Details will be forthcoming.
