The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has passed 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 winner of multiple prestigious awards. It also notes his managerial record with the Cincinnati Reds and his reinstatement to Major League Baseball on May 13, 2025, which makes him eligible for Hall of Fame consideration.

The resolution reflects the collective support of various Ohio representatives and emphasizes the significance of Rose's contributions to the sport, despite his previous ineligibility due to gambling activities. The House of Representatives has directed the Clerk to send authenticated copies of the resolution to relevant parties, including the MLB Commissioner and the Hall of Fame, to advocate for Rose's inclusion on the ballot.
