Perhaps the loudest cheer at this year's MLB All-Star Game in Cincinnati came before the game even started.
The cheer was loud for Hall of Famer catcher Johnny Bench, Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin, and Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan, but when Pete Rose's name was announced Great American Ballpark erupted.
Rose was given special permission to participate in the All-Star festivities in Cincinnati while he awaits a decision on his Major League Baseball future from commissioner Rob Manfred.
The four all-time greats were named MLB's Franchise Four for the Cincinnati Reds.
