CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds’ Hall of Fame & Museum 2016 bobblehead series — presented by Dinsmore & Shohl LLP — continues in June with Reds Hall of Fame inductee Pete Rose.

As the all-time Major League leader in hits (4,256), Rose is distinguished as one of the greatest players in baseball.

The Cincinnati-native is a 17-time All-Star and three-time World Series Champion.
