The Cincinnati Reds are paying tribute to Pete Rose on Wednesday night, a day after baseball’s career hits leader was posthumously removed from the major leagues’ permanent ineligibility list.

Pete Rose was reinstated by Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, making him eligible for the Hall of Fame. Baseball great Shoeless Joe Jackson was also reinstated by Manfred on Tuesday.

The most important implication of Manfred's decision has to do with the Baseball Hall of Fame. Pursuant to Rose's placement on the permanently ineligible list, the Hall in 1991 ruled that players on that list could not be elected into the Hall of Fame.
