Pete Rose aka Charlie Hustle will partake in the upcoming 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
The former MLB player and manager said he received the league's blessing to be on the field at Great American Ball Park for the pregame festivities, according to a report from Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today also noted that Rose is anticipating a talk with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred after the All-Star though there's no official date yet.
Bill Shaikin quoted Rose saying, "I don't know if I have a better chance" at reinstatement under Manfred than under Selig.

A recent fan poll on who are the all season, "Franchise Four" which determines the top four players per each franchise, Rose reportedly stood along with Johnny Bench, Barry Larkin and Joe Morgan,to win for the Reds.
The complete results of the voting will be revealed ahead of the game on Tuesday.
Rose currently works for Fox Sports as an analyst. He lost his rights in MLB when he was included in the ineligible list since August 1989 for betting on baseball games as a manager. He has since applied for reinstatement.
Reports suggested that Manfred is willing to look into Rose's case. Their supposed to be meeting might be a good sign favoring Rose's return.
