Major League Baseball's commissioner Rob Manfred has responded to the legendary and controversial baseball star Pete Rose after the former Cincinnati Red begged the league to include him into the Hall of Fame after apologising for betting on games.
One of the greatest hitters of all-time, Rose leads the league in hits (4.256) with an outstanding batting average (.303) whilst also winning the MVP in 1973 and World Series MVP in 1975. What's more, Rose also won the World Series on three occasions, but he ruined his reputation when he became a coach in 1984.
Rose admitted that he had been gambling on games that he played in as a player, as well as a manager for the Reds, which would make him permanently ineligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
