The MLB commissioner, Rob Manfred, finally removed Pete Rose and ‘Shoeless’ Joe Jackson from the ineligibility list to join their peers down in Cooperstown.
ESPN broke the news that after years of disagreements, debates, and very differing opinions, they decided the two players who got banned for the “mortal” sin of gambling are finally going to be eligible for the sport’s coveted Hall of Fame. Although Pete Rose and Joe Jackson’s bans are technically for the same crime, their circumstances could not be any different, and fans find it completely unacceptable that it took this long for Joe Jackson to finally get his due.
