Baseball fans are already calling Pete Rose to enter the renowned temple after the MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced that he, alongside 16 other people, including “Sho school” Joe Jackson, had been removed from the ineligible list permanently on Tuesday.
However, Manfred is not the one who would place pink in the sacred rooms of Cooperstown, as Tony Kornheiser d’Espn reminded all of these fans on Tuesday.
“Rob Manfred does not put you in the temple of renown. The baseball writers, who are members, put you in the temple of fame,” said Kornheiser on “forgiving the interruption”.
“These baseball writers, as we know, are the guards of the game. They take violations very seriously. Joe Jackson Fixed Games, Ok? Pete Rose has bet on the matches as a team manager. It does not disappear.”

The fans have rushed on social networks to express their dissatisfaction that MLB had waited until now to remove Rose from its permanently ineligible list. With this, many estimated that the temple of fame was the next step to rectify the absence of rose from the game since the early 1990s.
Kornheiser, however, spoke of another class of baseball players that baseball writers have not yet voted in the room.
“Do you know who else is eligible for the reproductive temple right now? Barry Bonds is eligible, Mark McGwire is eligible,” he said. “Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, they are eligible. Do they become so early? Don’t look at this way of vote.”

Now that doesn’t mean Kornheiser doesn’t want to see Rose in the room one day.
“As you know, Mike (Wilbon), I would put Pete Rose in the temple of fame,” he added. “I would put his sins on the plate and his achievements on the plate. I agree that, when your life is gone, it is normal to be eligible for something. But I do not see Pete Rose as a temple of the reputation of the first ballot. I do not do it.”
Rose, the leader of all time of MLB, was added to the uninlagetable list permanently after finding that he played on games as a player and manager. Rose initially denied the accusations, but in 2004, he came clean and admitted having played.

Manfred has announced that the ineligibility of game players ends when they died.
“Obviously, a person who is no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game,” wrote Manfred in a letter, obtained by ESPN, to the lawyer Jeffrey Mr. Lenkov.
“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 announced in March that he would forgive Rose, who served five months in prison in 1990. In 2017, Rose was accused of statutory rape of a 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.
Rose can be eligible for the fame of fame now, but it will be up to the baseball writers to vote it to make it official.
