The MLB has reinstated Pete Rose’s eligibility for the Hall of Fame after President Donald Trump made an impassioned plea for the late star.
Rose, who died at 83 last year, was a 17-time All-Star, a three-time World Series champion, and the league’s all-time leader in hits.
While his playing career made him a shoo-in for baseball’s Hall of Fame, he received a lifetime ban from the MLB in 1989 for betting on games, including his own, as a player and manager for the Cincinnati Reds. In 1991, the league’s Hall of Fame voted to officially make him permanently ineligible for entry.
