Reaction to Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson being reinstated by baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, making them eligible for the Hall of Fame.

Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson were reinstated by baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday, making both eligible for the sport’s Hall of Fame after their careers were tarnished by sports gambling scandals.

Pete Rose, who was banished from Major League Baseball for gambling on the game, has been removed from the league's permanently ineligible list and could be a contender for the Hall of Fame, MLB announced Tuesday.

Pete Rose is officially off MLB's ineligible list and has a clear path to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, assuming Cooperstown actually wants him.
