FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REDS' STATEMENT ON ROSE DECISION

Reds President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Castellini said, "The Commissioner called me this
morning prior to the announcement. We respect his decision on the matter of Pete Rose and are
grateful for his diligence and the amount of time he spent on the matter. We also appreciate that
the Commissioner stated that Hall of Fame consideration is a separate issue and we and the fans
think he deserves that opportunity. We are pleased that we have had and will continue to have
opportunities to commemorate Pete's remarkable on-field accomplishments. Any future plans to
celebrate Pete's career with the Reds first will be discussed with the Commissioner and then will be
communicated publicly at the appropriate time."
