President Trump is apparently encouraging Commissioner Manfred to reinstate Rose.

It's all in Manfred's hands. The president can pardon Pete, but the process only begins with the commissioner removing him from the ineligible list. I hope it happens. Very long overdue in my opinion.
I'm kind of over the whole MLB HOF thing. He should be in as a player just as others should as well meanwhile guys like Mauer are getting in the bar has been set so low by the writers
It wouldnt really make a difference anyways even if Manfred reinstated him, its still easy to not have him voted in. MLB just banned an umpire for sharing a gambling account not that long ago.
Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007
The MLB HOF was ruined a long time ago, put Pete in or not it really doesn't matter at this point
What he was guilty of was betting on his own team to win, Is that such a crime? I dont think so. He was probably one of the greatest players ever! Much worse things have been done by players and managers!
It would depend on whether the approach in games bet to win would be any different than the approach in games without a bet.
Keep in mind that, according to MLB, there are not any things worse than betting on baseball.
I suggest reading the Dowd report.
