Cincinnati Reds will wear patch honoring Pete Rose throughout 2025 season

The Cincinnati Reds announced Monday they will wear a patch with the No. 14 on their uniforms during the 2025 season, honoring the late Pete Rose.

Rose died in September at 83 at his home in Las Vegas, Nev. His No. 14 was retired by the Reds in 2016, the same year he entered the Reds Hall of Fame.

The Reds made the announcement by sharing a photo of the patch on social media.

Rose, nicknamed “Charlie Hustle, made his big-league debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 1963, winning the National League Rookie of the Year award, and finished his career with the Reds in 1986. He played 19 of his 24 seasons in the big leagues with the Reds.

Rose became the hit king on Sept. 11, 1985, with his 4,192nd hit, passing Ty Cobb in the record book with a single to center field at Riverfront Stadium.

Reds pitchers and catchers reported to Goodyear, Ariz., on Monday for spring training. They will have their first full workout Wednesday. Position players report Saturday. The first full-squad workout will be Feb. 17.
