Trump Helped Influence Pete Rose Reinstatement, Says MLB Commissioner
- Last month, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred lifted the lifetime bans on Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and 14 other deceased players, making them eligible for Hall of Fame consideration.
- Manfred attributed his decision partly to President Donald Trump's February social media support and their April White House meeting, along with other voices urging reinstatement.
- Rose was permanently banned in 1989 after MLB found he gambled on the Cincinnati Reds, and a 1991 Hall rule barred anyone on the permanent ban list from eligibility.
- Manfred characterized the decision as mostly symbolic but pointed out that it allows Rose and others to be considered for induction by the Classic Baseball Era Committee in December 2027, where 12 out of 16 votes are required for election.
- The decision reverses long-standing precedent but does not guarantee Hall of Fame induction and may spark ongoing debate over balancing achievements with controversial pasts.
