Peter Edward "PJ" Rose Jr. (born November 16, 1969 in Cincinnati) is the manager of the Wichita Wingnuts in the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball and former professional baseball player. The son of Major League Baseball's all-time hits leader Pete Rose, Rose Jr. played in the minor leagues most of his career except for a brief stint in 1997 for the Cincinnati Reds. He was released September 14, 2009, by the York Revolution of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. In 2011, he joined the White Sox coaching staff and became the manager of their Appalachian League (rookie league) affiliate in Bristol. In 2012, he moved up to the Pioneer League with the affiliate in Great Falls, Montana. After one season, he advanced to the lower-A South Atlantic League team in Kannapolis, North Carolina. His uniform number is 14.
Rose was often shown on national television during his childhood years as a batboy for his father's teams. When his father joined the Phillies in 1979, Rose Jr. spent time with Aaron Boone, Bret Boone, Ryan Luzinski, and Mark McGraw in the Phillies clubhouse. He appeared on a 1982 Fleer baseball card (#640) titled "Pete & Re-Pete; Pete Rose & son" with his father; he was twelve at the time. As a teenager, on September 11, 1985, he made an emotional on-field appearance live on ESPN to celebrate with his father after Rose Sr. broke Ty Cobb's record for most career hits.
