Leading off for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum: Pete Rose. The former Cincinnati Reds star will be the inaugural inductee to the new bobblehead hall on Saturday in Milwaukee. Rose, baseball’s career hits leader and a 17-time allstar, agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 after Major League Baseball found he’d placed numerous bets on the Reds to win while playing for and managing the team. Bobblehead museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said voters overwhelmi­ngly approved of inducting Rose.
