After nearly 40 years, MLB announced on Tuesday that it had reinstated 17-time All-Star and Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose, a big first step towards Rose being posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Rose, MLB's all-time hits leader who spent 19 of his 24 seasons with the Reds, was banned from baseball in 1989 after an investigation determined he gambled on games while managing Cincinnati.
