For the first time ever, the public will have the ability to put Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame. Fans can visit http://www.bobbleheadhall.com/peterose to make a simple “yes” or “no” vote as to whether the Pete Rose bobblehead should be the first one inducted into the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

Fans will also have the ability to help build a permanent home for Pete’s bobblehead by contributing as little as $1 to the Kickstarter campaignfor the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum which ends on Friday.

When asked about the honor of being the first bobblehead ever inducted to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame, Rose replied, “Being the only of anything is a big deal.”

Although Rose currently holds more Major League Baseball records than any other player in history, including the most career hits with 4,256, his ban from baseball makes him ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. However, his bobbleheads are eligible for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame, and fans will be able to decide whether Pete should get the honor of being the first bobblehead inducted.

“We want to settle this debate which has been going on for over 25 years right away for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum,” said National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum Co-Founder and CEO. “We have found no evidence of any wrongdoing by any of the Pete Rose bobbleheads, so we want to let the public decide whether a Pete Rose bobblehead should have the honor of being the first inducted into the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame.”
