Pete Rose Opening Day Outfit 2011: Transcendent 80s Jacket, Hat

Pete Rose Was Spotted at the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day Game 2011. Here is the Pete Rose Opening Day Outfit Photo. It Is Glorious

Alright, this isn't exactly news, but this photo of Pete Rose on Opening Day just has to be shared with the world. Pete Rose was spotted at the Cincinnati Reds home opener and he looked splendid. Something about the Pete Rose outfit caught the attention of Twittersphere and it's easy to see why.

The Pete Rose outfit seemed to come out of a time machine with Rose rocking a multi-colored leather jacket, multi-colored Reds hat and gold-rimmed glasses. Basically, the 69-year-old looked like he stepped out of a Bell Biv Devoe video. 

Why would Pete Rose dress like that? Who knows? Maybe he lost a bet or something.  

The Big Lead said that Pete Rose has been "reduced to whatever is left in the closet of Theo Huxtable." Another comment referred to it as "transcendent."

Deadspin offered this great headline: "Now a Grouchy Old Lesbian, Pete Rose Returned From Arsenio Hall's Rummage Sale In Time For Opening Day"

People on Twitter had a field day with the Pete Rose Opening Day outfit:

"pete rose has the most hits in mlb history, clearly this jacket is not one of them"

"Pete Rose totally borrowed the jacket Lisa Turtle gave to Slater in the Belding baby/earthquake episode of "SBTB"

"The worst thing about Pete Rose's outfit is that the hideousness of his jacket swallows up the absurdity of sunglasses' frames."

For what it's worth, Pete Rose was shown on the big screen at the stadium in Cincinnati and received a big ovation.

Here is the Pete Rose Opening Day Outfit Photo. It doesn't get any better than this.
