The decision of the MLB commissioner, Rob Manfred, to remove Pete Rose and other baseball legends from the permanently ineligible list, was the conference of the start of the season.
The eligibility of the renowned rose baseball temple took a step forward, and for the former star launcher of the Boston Red Sox, Derek Lowe, it was time. He told PK Press Club Digital in a recent interview that he did not “necessarily agree” that rose status would be determined after his death.

“Yeah, I think it’s time. I think a lot of people wrongly, wrongly, I thought he would end up entering, but it was not going to be until he passed, with which I don’t necessarily agree,” said Lowe. “You just look at a guy who has had the most success of all time – yes, we understand the game, but yes, you know, unfortunately it has passed, and we are probably going.
“In short, I think he will enter at some point. Now when it will be, I don’t know. But I think a lot of people would like to see him in the temple of reputation for sure.”
It is a similar feeling owned by the Baltimore Orioles Gunnar Henderson star.

He declared last month to PK Press Club Digital that he was “happy” to see Rose get out of the prohibited list but understood the opposition.
Rose died last September at the age of 83 of a hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. He admitted that he had played in 2004 after years claiming his innocence.
Rose was a triple World Series champion and a MVP. He is the leader of all time with 4,256 and an average of the career stick of 0.303.
