Pete Rose will take to the the same playing field as Honey Boo Boo next month.
The former baseball great's reality series, "Pete Rose: Hits & Mrs." has been given a six-episode order from TLC, and will premiere Monday, Jan. 14 at 10 p.m., the network said Tuesday.

The series will follow the 71-year-old Rose — who's been permanently barred from baseball due to gambling — and his new fiancee, former "Playboy" model Kiana Kim and their assemblage of kids from previous marriages. As the couple moves closer to marriage, they face various struggles: Will Rose's kids learn to accept the age difference between their dad and stepmom-to-be? Can Rose, who lives and works in Las Vegas, manage a long-distance relationship with Kiana, who lives in Los Angeles?
But perhaps the biggest question revolving around the series: How much indignity must Rose endure before he's welcomed back into the public's good graces?
"Pete Rose: Hits & Mrs." is produced for TLC by Creature Films, which seems appropriate, with Mark Ford and Kevin Lopez executive-producing.
