The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has introduced a concurrent resolution urging the Baseball Writers' Association of America and the National Baseball Hall of Fame to include Pete Rose on the Hall of Fame ballot. The resolution highlights Rose's impressive career achievements, including being the all-time leader in hits, at bats, and games played in Major League Baseball, as well as his status as a seventeen-time All-Star and a recipient of multiple prestigious awards. Despite his significant contributions to the sport, Rose was placed on Major League Baseball's ineligible list in 1989 due to gambling activities. However, he was reinstated on May 13, 2025, making him eligible for Hall of Fame consideration.

The resolution calls for Rose's inclusion on the next Hall of Fame ballot, reflecting the sentiment of the Ohio House of Representatives. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing Rose's accomplishments and contributions to baseball, despite the controversies surrounding his past. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to relevant parties, including the Major League Baseball Commissioner and the media, to raise awareness of this initiative.
