After U.S. President Donald Trump put his support behind a petition to make Pete Rose eligible for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, MLB chiefs are weighing up a proposal

Pete Rose has been on MLB's permanently ineligible list since 1989. If the ban is lifted, he would be eligible for election to the Hall of Fame.

Pete Rose is all over the Hall of Fame. Baseball isn’t hiding his accomplishments. His hits record and his World Series wins with the Reds and the Phillies aren’t hard to find walking around the museum. Baseball isn’t denying his existence. He’s just not enshrined in the Hall of Fame. That’s how it should be.
