MLB found that Rose played with her Cincinnati reds as a player and manager, although she insisted that she never bet on her team to lose. Rose denied the accusations until 2004. He sought restoration several times, but MLB was never well received before his death in September 2024.
Rose predicted only 10 days before his death that would not arrive at the Baseball Hall of Fame until after his death, if he did.
The news about Rose surprised the world of baseball, and fans immediately began to press for Rose’s induction to the Hall of Fame.

Baseball fans have been discussing Rose’s eligibility for the Hall of Fame for years.
The former MLB pitcher, John Rocker, published: “Pete Rose deserved to see his name in the Hall of Fame.”
However, not everyone shares the same opinion, including veteran sports presenter Chris Rose.
“Pete Rose did not give Pete Rose a chance to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame,” said Chris Rose in his reaction video published on social networks. “We are always looking to point out someone else about why we can’t do this or we don’t give each other that opportunity. I guess Pete Rose would have had a great opportunity to do this if he had looked at himself in the mirror and said: ‘You have to clean your act’, which he never did.
“For 15 years after A. Bartlett Giamatti, the commissioner at that time, said:” Pete, you are out, “he never admitted to having opted for baseball. Do you know when he finally did? When I could win a quick dollar, when I could get a book. And then he began to say: ‘Yes, I bet on baseball, but I only bet that my team won when I handled them.”
Manfred wrote about his decision in a letter to lawyer Jeffrey M. Lenkov.

“Obviously, a person who is no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game,” Manfred wrote in the letter obtained by ESPN. “In addition, it is difficult to conceive of a penalty that has a more deterrent effect than one that lasts a life without relief. Therefore, I have concluded that permanent inelegability ends with the passage of the disciplined individual, and Mr. Rose will be eliminated from the permanently ineligible list.”
President Donald Trump, who met with Manfred last month, announced in March that he would forgive Rose, who turned five months in prison in 1990. In 2017, Rose was also accused of legal violation of an alleged meeting decades before.
“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!” Trump published.

While Rose has a good opportunity to get to the hall, Jackson’s possibilities are not scarce. It is widely supposed to participate in the 1919 Sox Sox Sox Sox scandal, in which seven others were expelled from the game for fixing the world series that year.
As a result of Manfred’s decision, 17 deceased players have been deleted from the permanently ineligible list of MLB.
