Rick Walls, executive director of the Reds Hall of Fame, expressed the sentiment of the event: "We wanted to do something like this. You could see from the turnout, it means a lot to the people here. It's a moving experience." The heartfelt tribute was a testament to the impact that Pete Rose had on baseball and his local community.
Bob Augspurger, a longtime Reds fan, reflected on Rose's legacy: "He was a guy you thought was going to live forever. When I heard the news, obviously it was sad. Baseball lost its greatest ambassador." This acknowledgment underscores Rose's enduring influence on the sport.
