Manfred officially removed Rose and Jackson, and all other deceased players, from MLB’s permanently ineligible list on Tuesday. Manfred ruled that the league’s punishment of banned individuals now officially ends after their deaths.
Rose, MLB’s all-time leader in hits (4,256), voluntarily agreed with Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti to a permanent ban on Aug. 23, 1989, following an investigation that concluded Rose bet on the Reds as both a player and manager. Manfred previously rejected Rose’s petition for reinstatement in 2015.
