"Pete Rose Night" was a previously planned promotion by the Reds, but it's unclear how much of the festivities were going to be held prior to Tuesday's announcement. The Reds wore No. 14 warm-up shirts before Wednesday's game, and they also played a three-minute tribute video honoring Rose.

Since the game’s early days, baseball mythology has been constructed — often deliberately — to set itself apart.

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

The Reds are handing out a replica No. 14 Rose jersey to fans in attendance for their game against the White Sox.
