Pete Rose was removed from the ineligible list of the major baseball league on Tuesday.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred wrote that on the death of a player, they are no longer ineligible because they can no longer “represent a threat to the integrity of the game”, in a letter obtained by ESPN. Seventeen players are now eligible to be voted at the baseball renowned temple.
ESPN “Sunday Night Baseball” broadcaster Karl Ravech thought that Rose’s reinstatement seems associated with the recent Manfred meeting with President Donald Trump.

Trump and Manfred met at the White House last month, but we don’t know what the two discussed. Trump was ardent in his conviction that Pete Rose should be inducted into the temple of replaceball renowned.
“He seems more closely associated with a meeting he had with the president, Donald Trump, who clearly indicated that he wanted to absolve Pete Rose and bring him back in a position where he would then be eligible for a committee to bring him into the temple of renown,” said Ravech during an appearance in the “The Ricky Cobb Show” of Outkick “.
Trump posted on Truth Social in February that he would forgive Pink posthumously. The coup de MLB King served five months in prison in 1990 and 2017 was accused of statutory rape of a decades earlier.
Ravech said he was not sure of MLB’s motivation to remove Rose from the ineligible list.
“For me, I do not know what this motivation is. For me, permanently ineligible means just this. The death of Pete Rose does not necessarily change the dynamics for me; he was permanently ineligible. I look at the temple of fame, and it is a personal and personal conversation and your feelings about Rose and your feelings about sport,” said Ravich.

“For me, Pete Rose is in the temple of fame. If you go to CoopStown, you will see the numbers, you will see bats, you will hear about the records, you know that no one in the history of the game has more strokes.
Ravech does not, however, believe that the withdrawal of rose from the permanently ineligible list means that it is guaranteed to be elected to the renowned temple.
“This does not mean Rick, that it will now make him clear to bring him. It is quite clear that the players who are on these committees have clearly indicated any task on the game, whether steroids, these guys have obtained four votes in the most recent committee,” said Ravech.
“The game is another, having grown up in club clubs in the past 30 years, [I] Remember that we have entered each of them and that the upper line is essentially command: you are not leaving on baseball. He violated it, he was then put on an ineligible list permanently. “”

Rose died at 83 years old in September 2024, but the debate to find out if he should be in the fame of fame has raged.
Rose is the King of the MLB with 4,256 careers in career. He was the player par excellence of the National League in 1974 and was an All-Star of 17 times, a triple champion of World Series and a triple champion in the stick.
However, the Cincinnati Reds star has become a polarizing figure when news from his game on games have shaken the world of sport. Rose received a life ban from MLB in 1989, but after Tuesday’s announcement, he will be eligible for the first time.
