Longtime Cincinnati Reds announcer Marty Brennaman ripped Major League Baseball for their timing on their decision to reinstate Pete Rose from the permanently ineligible.

Pete Rose was celebrated by the Cincinnati Reds a day after baseball’s career hits leader was posthumously removed from Major League Baseball’s permanent ineligibility list.

One day after MLB commissioner removed Rose from its permanent ineligibility list, the Cincinnati Reds celebrated their icon before and during the team's game against the Chicago White Sox. The organization held a pre-game moment of silence and students from Rose's high-school alma mater performed the national anthem.
