US EditionMLB reinstates Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, making them Hall of Fame eligible
- Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred lifted the lifetime bans of two players previously barred for gambling, restoring their eligibility for the Hall of Fame on Tuesday.
- The reinstatement follows MLB policy change that bans expire after death and ends Rose's permanent ineligibility originating in 1989 for betting on the Reds.
- Rose, baseball's career leader with 4,256 hits and 3,562 games played, had a 23-year career and was a 17-time All-Star and 1973 MVP.
- Under current Hall rules, Rose and Jackson are first eligible for induction in 2028, with Hall of Fame Chairman Jane Forbes Clark confirming eligibility after removal from permanent ban.
- The reinstatement occurred just prior to the Cincinnati Reds' Pete Rose Night and signals possible Hall of Fame consideration for both players whose legacies were marred by gambling-related controversies.
