Reinstatement finally! On Tuesday, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred removed Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, and other deceased players from the permanently ineligible list. Most players are from the 1919 Chicago White Sox,

Rose, MLB’s all-time leader in hits (4,256), voluntarily agreed with Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti to a permanent ban on Aug. 23, 1989, following an investigation that concluded Rose bet on the Reds as both a player and manager. Manfred previously rejected Rose’s petition for reinstatement in 2015.

The posthumous reinstatement makes the South Carolina hitter and 16 others, including Pete Rose, eligible for MLB Hall of Fame nomination
