Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader in MLB, is no longer banned following his death, as a new policy states that permanent ineligibility ends at death. This change was announced by Commissioner Rob Manfred and has reignited discussions about Rose's potential Hall of Fame induction. In Cincinnati, a tribute to Rose is underway, featuring jersey giveaways and a panel of his former teammates, acknowledging his legacy as a player who gave everything for the city, despite the scandal that overshadowed his career.
"With that, the game's all-time hits leader is no longer officially banned. And in Cincinnati, the place that never turned its back on him, a tribute rises..."
"The tribute feels both formal and familiar. Because in Cincinnati, Rose never needed redemption. He already had it. He was the hometown kid who gave every inch of himself to the game and to the city..."
"Permanent ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual, a shift that allows discussions around Hall of Fame eligibility to renew."
