Pete Rose, a baseball icon and the all-time hits leader, has been removed from Major League Baseball's permanently ineligible list by Commissioner Rob Manfred. Manfred stated that the ineligibility ends upon the individual's death, reaffirming that a deceased person cannot threaten the game's integrity. Rose, who was banned for life in 1989 due to gambling allegations, is celebrated for his impressive career, which included 4,256 hits, 17 All-Star selections, and multiple championship titles. Additionally, Shoeless Joe Jackson and several Black Sox team members were also reinstated after decades of exclusion.
"I have concluded that permanent ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual, and Mr. Rose will be removed from the permanently ineligible list."
"Rose is baseball's all-time hits leader with 4,256... a storied 24-year career that featured 17 All-Star Games, three World Series titles, a National League MVP, and three batting titles."
