Phillies cancel plans to honor Rose later this month
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies have canceled plans to honor Pete Rose next week because of a woman’s claim she had a sexual relationship with baseball’s hit king when she was a minor.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe this week in a court filing, said Rose called her in 1973, when she was 14 or 15, and they began a sexual relationship that lasted years.
The Phillies were going to induct Rose into their Wall of Fame on Aug. 12.
