Less than a year after Pete Rose’s death, Major League Baseball on Tuesday reinstated the Reds and Phillies great, along with former White Sox star “Shoeless Joe” Jackson, from the permanent ineligible list,

In a sweeping decision, commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday that MLB had reinstated deceased people the league had deemed “permanently ineligible” under Rule 21 of its code of conduct.

Manfred announced Tuesday that he was changing the league's policy on permanent ineligibility, saying bans would expire at death.
