EXCLUSIVE: The removal of Pete Rose from the permanently ineligible list means he now will become eligible for Hall of Fame consideration. Rose's eldest daughter Fawn only wishes he was alive to see it, she tells @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/athletic/635...

Why couldn’t he just apologize for what he did and admit he did wrong? Same reason why Bonds, Clemens, and McGwire won’t: it’s their individual ability to never give up, the same ability that made each of them greats, even if it cost them everything

If you ever get the opportunity to visit Cooperstown NY to see the HoF. It is a delight for baseball fans of any age. One thing you’ll notice, despite Rose’s name and image not being in THE Hall, his name and stats are all over the HoF museum. His punishment served its purpose...

..A message to all professional athletes. Bet on your sport and you’ll never see your name in the Hall of Fame.

Really? Does this mean players betting on their sports is being validated? Such activity undermines the integrity of the sport. Not a good look. #MLB

I absolutely hated the Penguin when he played for Cinn…but absolutely loved him when he played for Philly. One of the best players in the history of BASEBALL ⚾️ Pete DESERVES to be in the Hall of Fame and I am so happy he will be there soon 👍

He was a sex predator. No wonder the orange stain intervened on his behalf. I also like that they made this a blanket rule to pretend Trump's whining wasn't the only reason they did this.

The hilarious thing is that baseball and all the other major sports are completely in bed with sports betting companies. And I'm not talking about a one night stand. I mean regularly bumping bed buddies.

Pretty sure there’s a donation somewhere in this equation, but by pardoning him he’ll now take credit for Rose’s success on the field. He admires Rose because he’s a liar and a cheat and it’s because of that the HoF committee should do the right thing and keep him out.
