Pete Rose has been granted yet another break from his lifetime ban from Major League Baseball.
This time, the 75-year-old has the league's permission to make an appearance at a Triple-A Rochester Red Wings game in upstate New York on July 21. The Red Wings announced Friday Rose will sign autographs and meet with and pose for pictures with a limited number of fans, and also throw out the first pitch.
Only 250 tickets, costing $50, are being sold to fans seeking an autograph. Another 100 VIP tickets, costing $125, are available to fans to meet with Rose.
In January, Rose received approval from MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred to be inducted into the Cincinnati Reds' hall of fame and have his No. 14 retired in June.
