Baseball fans have debated pink admissibility to the temple of fame for years.
The former MLB launcher, John Rocker, posted: “Pete Rose deserved to see his name in the renowned temple.”
However, not everyone shares the same point of view, including the host of veterans sports Chris Rose.
“Pete Rose did not give Pete Rose a shot to enter the temple of the replacement of baseball,” explained Chris Rose in his reaction video published on social networks. “We are always trying to point the finger at someone else to explain why we cannot do this or we did not give this blow. I suppose that Pete Rose would have had the opportunity to do so if he had looked at the mirror and said:” You must clean your act “, which he never did.
“For 15 years after. Bartlett Giamatti, the commissioner at the time, said:” Pete, you are absent “, he never admitted having bet on baseball. You know when he finally did it? When he was able to turn quickly, when he could reveal a book. And then he started to say:” Yeah, I bet on baseball, but I only bet on my team to win.
Manfred wrote on his decision in a letter to the lawyer Jeffrey Mr. Lenkov.

“Obviously, a person who is no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game,” wrote Manfred in the letter obtained by ESPN. “In addition, it is difficult to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent than that which lasts a whole life without suspected. Consequently, I concluded that permanent ineligibility ends with the passage of the disciplined individual, and Mr. Rose will be withdrawn from the ineligible permanent list.”
President Donald Trump, who met Manfred last month, announced in March that he would forgive Rose, who served five months in prison in 1990. In 2017, Rose was also accused of statutory rape of an alleged meeting decades earlier.
“The Major League Baseball did not have the courage or decency to set fire, Grand Pete Rose, also known as” Charlie Hustle “, in the temple of renown of baseball. Now, he died, will never feel the thrill of being selected, even if he was a much better player than most of those who did it, and can only be named posthumous.

While Rose has a good blow to enter the room, Jackson’s chances are slim. It is widely assumed that he participated in the 1919 Black Sox scandal, in which seven others were prohibited from the game for having repaired the World Series that year.
Following Manfred’s decision, 17 deceased players were removed from the permanent ineligible list of the MLB.
