According to the reports, the MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is considering eliminating Pete Rose from the forbidden list of the League, months after the leader of successes of all time of the game died at the age of 83.
Rose’s family presented a petition against MLB on January 8 to get it out of the list, ESPN reported on Saturday. The Baseball Legend Lawyer, Jeffrey Lenkov, told him at the exit that the petition appeared after Rose’s daughter met with Manfred and the league spokesman, Pat Courtney, on December 17.

Manfred previously rejected Rose’s offer in December 2015 after the two gathered. Lenkov described the meeting with MLB Brass as “productive” and said that Manfred had been “respectful” and kind “when he heard the case.
“Now is the time to pass the page in Pete Rose’s legacy in baseball and so that the Hall of Fame honors it. Whether it is a fanatic or not of Pete Rose, we are at our best, a nation of second opportunities, a nation of second opportunities,” Lenkov told ESPN. “We don’t cancel people.”
President Donald Trump wrote in a publication on social networks on Friday that he planned to posthly forgive Rose.
“Major League Baseball did not have the courage or decency to put the last ones, Pete Rose, also known as ‘Charlie Hustle’, in the Baseball Fame. Now he is dead, he will never experience the emotion of being selected, although he was a much better player than most of those who did, and can only be called Posthummy. What a shame!” He wrote in Truth Social.

“Anyway, in the coming weeks I will sign a complete forgiveness of Pete Rose, who should not have been playing in baseball, but I will only bet on his team won. They never bet against himself, or the other team. He had more successes, with much, in the history of baseball, and won more games than in the history of sports. The Hall of Fame of Baseball!”
Rose exploded with his hometown, Cincinnati Reds, the team with which he played 19 of his 24 seasons, three of which also served as an interim manager, in 1963, and went on to make history of the League, while assuring three titles of the World Series on the road.
Nicknamed “Charlie Hustle” for his relentless impulse when in the diamond, Rose was MVP of the League in 1973, a 17 -time winner of the batting title, three times winner of the title, rookie of the year and MVP of the World Series.
Despite his 4,256 career successes, he became a polarizing figure when the news of his game in baseball shook the world of sport.

Rose requested reinstatement in 2020 and 2022, especially with legalized sports bets that occur throughout the country. However, Manfred denied both requests, pointing to the Veterans Committee for any discussion of the Hall of Fame on Rose. Manfred also knocked down any speculation about Rose’s reinstatement in 2023, since the League had associations with betting houses.
Although he is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame, the induced reds became their own fame hall in 2016, withdrawing his No. 14. He made several appearances in the MLB stages in recent years before his death.
