Pete Rose Removed From MLB's Banned List, Now Hall of Fame Eligible

If they were going to do this, they should have either done this in his final years or waited maybe 5 years after he died . It just makes the MLB powers that be look like they were not standing on principal but just making sure the man was punished until the very day he died. I get you have to punish individuals but should this have really been a life sentence. Also considering the massive $ MLB makes off of gambling partnerships now? They are making massive amounts of money while creating an atmosphere where players are more likely to do this.

1st ballot. Come on baseball get this right.

What about Joe?

His family should tell mlb to get fkd

8 months after he passed. As a Pirates fan I hated the Reds but I loved watching Pete Rose. I'm not a purist to the point of believing he should've been banned from MLB and the HoF. I felt like they were unfairly making an example of Pete. Giving him eligibility soon after his passing seems like a final "frick you" to one of the greatest players ever.
